The Grosvenor Street premises showing the 1977 mural by Ken Billyard and Walter Kershaw. The Manchester Museum of Science and Technology, as it was originally named opened in October 1969 what was the former Oddfellows Hall on Grosvenor Street, Chorlton-on-Medlock. In 1972, the Museum changed its name to the North Western Museum of Science and Industry in order to reflect the regional scope of its collections. Renamed the Greater Manchester Museum of Science of Industry, it relocated in September 1983 to the former Liverpool Road Station.

The Grade II listed building https://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101200839-adult-deaf-and-dumb-institute-former-ardwick-ward was designed by John Lowe and completed in 1877. According to the April 1900 issue of the "Silent Worker": "The present Institute was preceded by a society founded by Andrew Patterson, the late headmaster of the Old Trafford School for the Deaf and Dumb, where for many years its meetings were held. Subsequently the headquarters were removed to John Dalton Street, where it continued until after more years of unobtrusive work and steady effort, the Institute in Grosvenor Street, All Saints, Manchester, was built at a cost of nearly £6,000 and opened with much jubilation by the late Bishop Fraser, on June 8th, 1878." http://manchesterhistory.net/manchester/outside/deafdumb.html For a fuller history see Digital Victorians: http://mhm.hud.ac.uk/digitalvictorians/the-deaf-institute-a-history-beneath-the-noise/ It is now a cafe-bar and music venue called The Deaf Institute http://www.thedeafinstitute.co.uk/
