Jabez Clegg - the former Holy Name Church Hall





As the bricks above the door say, the Holy Name Church Hall was built in 1892.  The architect was Edmund Kirby.





Today the hall is home to the Jabez Clegg Beer Hall and a night club on the upper floor.  Named after the hero of Mrs. Linnaeus Banks' book, 'A Manchester Man".
