Lancashire / Re: Crossley Hospital, Ancoats, Manchester
« on: Friday 28 March 14 00:32 GMT (UK)  »
Star Hall was a Mission Hall in Ancoats, Manchester, founded by Francis Crossley (of Crossley Engines, later Crossley Motors) to meet the spiritual needs of his factory workers. It included the Crossley Hospital, a Maternity hospital. The building was previously a dance hall. On his death in 1897, his daughter continued the mission until 1919. At this time the building and mission were handed over to the Salvation Army. Crossley had been a personal friend of William Booth, and had even been called the 'Paymaster General' of the SA. The building was demolished in 1985. Crossley Court, run by the Salvation Army Housing Association, now occupies the site.
