The Whitworth Hall
The ceremonial Whitworth Hall was built between 1898 and 1902 to commemorate the Manchester engineer Joseph Whitworth (1803–1887). It was funded by Richard Copley Christie, his lawyer and legatee. The hall, like the rest of the quadrangle, was designed by Alfred Waterhouse, one of Britain's best-known architects, who also designed Manchester Town Hall and the Natural History Museum in London. Building started in 1898 and was completed in 1902 under Paul Waterhouse, Alfred's son. The height and rhythm of the hall echo the similar gothic style of the Museum building, to which it is connected by the archway. Features of note include the towers and the large perpendicular-style window at the south end, the full scale organ, and the wonderful hammer-beam timber roof. The great window includes coats of arms of the 'textile towns', celebrating the University as a 'centre of intelligence' for an industrial region which then dominated the world trade in cotton. Panels inside the hall commemorate the many local citizens who have supported the University from its origins nearly two centuries ago.
