When you think of Salford Quays the modern buildings of Media City probably spring to mind. Yet only a short walk away is where you’ll find one of the oldest buildings in Greater Manchester.
Tucked away in a housing estate, Ordsall Hall was standing long before all the structures which surround it. The hall dates back more than 750 years, although the oldest surviving parts of the present hall were built in the 15th century.
It’s a Grade I listed building full of historical details, from beautiful stained glass windows to Tudor features. In fact it's one of the few remaining Tudor manors in the UK to retain many of its original features, including the mediaeval domestic quarters in The East Wing and one of the largest example of a timber-framed hall.
