There were cheers and applause in Wythenshawe today as the town welcomed back its ‘iconic’ Tudor Hall.
Wythenshawe Hall, in the town’s park, was destroyed by arsonist Jeremy Taylor in March 2016. He was jailed for four-and-a-half years in 2017, having admitted his heinous attack on the building .
Six years and £6.7 million later, the building was officially reopened to the public by the Lord Mayor of the City of Manchester, Donna Ludford. She spoke to crowds who waited for hours outside the gates this morning to catch a glimpse of the renovated space.
