EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by George Bernard Wood showcases the grandeur of Knobb Hall, a historical gem that once graced the city of Manchester. Built in the 17th century, this magnificent hall stood as a testament to Stuart architecture and was admired for its exquisite design. In this exterior view, we are presented with the front facade of Knobb Hall, featuring a charming porch that adds an elegant touch to the building. The hall boasted three bays and two storeys, with attics nestled within its end gables. The porch itself was a standout feature - projecting outwards and crowned with a beautifully gabled roof. Sadly, despite its rich history and architectural significance, Knobb Hall met an unfortunate fate post-1942 when it was demolished. This image serves as both a tribute to its former glory and a reminder of loss and destruction suffered by our heritage. Wood's skillful photography captures every detail meticulously; from the ball finials adorning each corner of the gables to the intricate craftsmanship on display throughout. It is through images like these that we can appreciate not only what once existed but also reflect upon our responsibility to preserve such treasures for future generations.
