In the exhibition you can meet some of the main characters that have lived at the Hall over the centuries.
These include the grand John Radclyffe of the 1340s and the ‘fair and witty’ Margaret Radclyffe (former lady-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth 1).
Throughout time the lives of humans and animals have been closely connected. This exhibition highlights some of these relationships, whether domestic or working, sporting or for entertainment.
Animals was first shown at Salford Museum and Art Gallery in 2023. This exhibition includes many of the works on display there, alongside some new additions. All the artwork and objects on display are from Salford Museum and Art Gallery’s collection.
At Ordsall Hall this summer, a new exhibition presents 100 photographs, picked by 100 people from Salford, taken in the last 100 years.
Local history enthusiasts from across the city have used Digital Salford to select their favourite image. Along with their personal stories about their chosen image, the photos show a personal and community history of the city.
