Worsley Courthouse

The Manchester Guardian of 4 August 1849 notes the move to the new courthouse and town hall of the fortnightly petty sessions. Assumed completion of the building must therefore be between 21 July to 3 August 1849.  Lord Ellesmere sat on the bench and the proceedings were visited by members of the Ellesmere family together with guests at the Hall. Record of court proceedings given. but no other information concerning the new building. Given the attendance of the Ellesmere family at this court hearing it would seem that no other official opening ceremony took place. [Manchester Guardian 4 August 1849]
