Image title: Manchester Longsight Reynell St and Slade Hall

Captured on a dull afternoon in November, medieval Slade Hall is visible at the end of Reynell Street, which was built in the late 19th century. This area forms part of the suburb of Longsight, some 3 miles south of Manchester city centre.

Slade Hall is mentioned on a page about the nearby Rushford Conservation Area on the Manchester City Council website

Why did I take this picture? I love vistas along straight roads or streets. The half timbered black and white hall contrasts strongly with the red brick houses built around four hundred years later. Not surprisingly, there are reports of ghosts at Slade Hall. See Manchester Online.
