Moberly Hall is a student residence on the Manchester University campus, next to Oxford Rd. Its tower is one of the highest buildings in Manchester.

It has 15 floors and was completed in 1963. The tower is 160 feet high and one of the tallest buildings in this part of Manchester. Moberly Hall was to have been demolished under the original development plans. In my opinion it is a very attractive building that is just as much a part of the character of the university as the Owens Building. I am famously an enthusias for unloved post war buildings such as Piccadilly Plaza in Manchester or O'Connell Bridge House in Dublin.
