Hall i' th' Wood, Tudor manor house in Tonge, United Kingdom
Hall i' th' Wood combines timber framing with stone additions from 1591 and 1648, featuring multiple entrances and separate living spaces for different families.
Samuel Crompton developed the first spinning mule at Hall i' th' Wood in 1779, revolutionizing textile manufacturing with yarn suitable for muslin production.
The building transformed from a single-family manor house into multiple residences for industrial workers, reflecting the social changes during the Industrial Revolution.
The property functions as a museum operated by Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council, displaying collections related to local history and textile manufacturing.
William Lever purchased and restored the property in 1899 through architects Jonathan Simpson and Edward Ould before gifting it to Bolton Corporation in 1900.
