Abstract: |
Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) was commissioned by Urban Vision on behalf of Salford City Council to undertake a programme of archaeological works at Ordsall Hall, Salford (NGR SJ 815 972). The works were programmed to take place during a major refurbishment project, intended to both conserve the building, and maximise its use by the local community. The project began in 2009 and the Hall was re-opened to the public in the spring of 2011. Ordsall Hall is a Grade 1 Listed Building (949-1/4/94), being located on the edge of a deprived housing estate, and close to an area of proposed regeneration. It is an outstanding survival of a late medieval/post-medieval moated hall, with a long history of use and adaption. Its fabric, both timber-framed and brick construction, records changes and alterations over a period of five hundred years, particularly in the late fourteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, and with complex interactions between these. It has been a social history museum since 1972 (Salford Museum Service). |
