Star Hall was a Mission Hall in Ancoats, Manchester.
History
The mission hall was founded by Francis Crossley (of Crossley Engines, later Crossley Motors) to meet the spiritual needs of his factory workers and opened in 1889.{{cite web|title=Church history|publisher=Longsight Community Church of the Nazarene|url=http://www.longsightnazarene.org/church-history|accessdate=31 July 2015}} On his death in 1897, his daughter continued the mission until 1919. At this time the building and mission were handed over to the Salvation Army. It included the Crossley Hospital, a maternity hospital, which opened in the 1920s and closed in the 1940s.{{cite web|url=https://archiveshub.jisc.ac.uk/search/archives/b489e047-e6b1-3992-aaa3-5e40e2147729?component=7837f75e-0d82-3bb4-9cb8-a63b3d0eb610|title=Crossley (Star Hall) Hospital, Mitchell Street, Ancoats|publisher=Archives Hub|accessdate=19 November 2018}}
