A building with an interesting history. Originally built in 1808 as a 2-storey, 5-bay house, it passed into the hands of a community of nuns in 1853, becoming a convent and school. The additional storey in brick and terracotta was added by c.1900, and the building continued as a Catholic school until the late 20th century. It has since become part of the University of Salford.
