Ancoats Hall, Manor house in Ancoats, England
The two-story hall featured three gables on the front facade and a central square tower topped with a hipped roof construction.
Oswald Mosley constructed the original timber-framed country house in 1609, establishing it as the first major building in the Ancoats district of Manchester.
The building served as the Manchester Art Museum from 1886, founded by Thomas Coglan Horsfall to provide cultural education to local residents.
The hall stood at the eastern end of Great Ancoats Street, between Every Street and Palmerston Street, until its demolition in the 1960s.
The structure housed the preserved remains of Hannah Beswick, known as the Manchester Mummy, during a period of its existence.
