Hulme Hall, Bolton Road, Port Sunlight

Hulme Hall was built as a girls’ dining room seating 1500 to the designs of William and Segar Owen, although it also served as a venue for special functions and gatherings from the beginning.  When canteen facilities were provided inside the factory, it served for a time as a museum and art gallery until the opening of the Lady Lever Art Gallery. Now a community centre. Single storey with six bays, built in brick with stone dressings, timber-framed gables and a slate roof with tiled ridges. Projecting flank wings, and other features include bay windows and buttresses.
