Pathology Laboratory And Mortuary At Crossley East Hospital

The Pathology Laboratory and Mortuary at Crossley East Hospital is a building constructed between 1902 and 1904 as an ancillary facility to Crossley East Hospital, which specialized in the treatment of tuberculosis and was sponsored by the Crossley family of Manchester. The building is made of common brick with red brick detailing and features hipped concrete tile roofs with a coped ridge stack. It is a single-storey structure with three bays, designed in an L-shape.

The front of the building has two central windows flanked by canted bay windows. The larger bay window on the left includes a door with an overlight at the inner angle, while the smaller bay window has three lights. The left side has an approach ramp and two windows on the right, along with a segment-arched doorway to the left that has an overlight and sidelights. At the rear, there are two segment-arched windows, and the right side features a single window on the left and a larger segment-arched window on the right, next to a pair of doors with a louver ventilator in the segmental overlight.

The interior was not accessible during the survey, but it is noted to retain a dissection slab.
