Star Hall
Star Hall was a Mission Hall in Ancoats, Manchester.
History
[edit]The mission hall was founded by Francis Crossley (of Crossley Engines, later Crossley Motors) to meet the spiritual needs of his factory workers and opened in 1889.[1] On his death in 1897, his daughter continued the mission until 1919.[1] At this time the building and mission were handed over to the Salvation Army.[1] It included the Crossley Hospital, a maternity hospital, which opened in the 1920s and closed in the 1940s.[2]
