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:
“I may be able to spot arrowheads on the desert but a refrigerator is a jungle in which I am easily lost. My wife, however, will unerringly point out that the cheese or the leftover roast is hiding right in front of my eyes. Hundreds of such experiences convince me that men and women often inhabit quite different visual worlds. These are differences which cannot be attributed to variations in visual acuity. Man and women simply have learned to use their eyes in very different ways.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
