Hopwood Hall
The Colonel Hopwood offered Hopwood Hall for sale on May 10, 1922. He failed to sell. The Hall was in poor state when it was taken over by the Lancashire Cotton Corporation during World War II. The corporation used Hopwood Hall, in conjunction with Blackfriars House to run the firm during the war time years. After the war the Lancashire Cotton Corporation sold the Hall to a Trust in 1946, under which it became a training college for Catholic teachers under the De La Salle Brothers.

Famous quotes containing the word hall:
“He packs wool sheared in April, honey
in combs, linen, leather
tanned from deerhide,
and vinegar in a barrel
hooped by hand at the forge’s fire.”
—Donald Hall (b. 1928)
