Worsley Court House was built in 1849 as the local manor court. After 1888 it became a magistrates' court. Early in its history it was used for night classes and is now the village hall.[2]
The courthouse was sold to Worsley Urban District Council in 1966 and was extended the following year. In 1974 ownership passed to Salford City Council .
Architecture [ ]
The courthouse is timber framed on a projecting stone plinth and has a slate roof. The studded framing has square panelling in its gables . The building centres around the large hall with tall gables surrounded by lower single-storey rooms. The gables have decorative bargeboards and finials . The doorway has a Tudor arched surround and a studded door. A ground-floor loggia with a balustrade forms a porchway.[1]
