Ordsall Hall
Ordsall Hall is a formerly moated Tudor mansion. Although there has been a house on the site for over 750 years, the oldest surviving parts of the present hall were built during the 15th century when it was the family seat of the Radclyffe family, who lived in the house for more than 300 years. Since its sale by the Radclyffes, the hall has been put to many uses including as a working men's club, a school for clergy, and a radio station amongst others. The house was bought by Salford City Council in 1959, and opened to the public in 1972, as a period house and local history museum. It was comprehensively restored between 2009 and 2011.
The hall is a Grade I listed building (List Entry Number: 1386169 Link
