Stretford Public Hall was built by John Rylands, a local philanthropist, aka “The Cotton King” and Manchester’s first multi-millionaire. It stands on the corner of Chester Road and Dorset Street, and is commonly (but wrongly) assumed to be Stretford Town Hall (which is a separate building now known as Trafford Town Hall).
