Baguley Hall Wythenshawe-the largest municipal Estate in Europe at the time-mushroomed around the old Hall at Baguley from the late 1940's. The original timber-framed building was constructed in the 1350's. It is hoped that the Hall will be re-opened to the public later this year, after being closed and unoccupied since the 1950's.
