# Star Hall

Star Hall was a Mission Hall in Ancoats, Manchester.

## History

The mission hall was founded by Francis Crossley (of Crossley Engines, later Crossley Motors) to meet the spiritual needs of his factory workers and opened in 1889. On his death in 1897, his daughter continued the mission until 1919. At this time the building and mission were handed over to the Salvation Army. It included the Crossley Hospital, a maternity hospital, which opened in the 1920s and closed in the 1940s.
