Bradley Hall is a Grade II* listed building on Bradley Lane in Standish, a village within the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan, Greater Manchester, England. Historically part of Lancashire, it is a historic building of regional interest. Originally a timber-framed hall and later converted into a public house, Bradley Hall is now used as office accommodation.
Bradley Hall dates from the 16th or 17th century and was originally constructed as a timber-framed house. In the mid-19th century, the building was encased in brick with stone dressings, a phase of Victorian alteration that incorporated elements of the earlier structure.[1] The hall later served as a public house, known as the Bradley Hall Public House.[1]
On 24 May 1982, Bradley Hall was designated a Grade II* listed building for its architectural and historic significance.[2]
Bradley Hall is currently used as office accommodation within the Bradley Hall Trading Estate.[3] As of 2026, it serves as the head office of Ainscough Crane Hire.[4]
Architecture
The building is a two-storey structure with three gabled bays, the third bay projecting forward. It stands on a stone plinth and features stone quoins and decorative bargeboards. The windows are mullioned, with those on the ground floor incorporating transoms, and all lights are cusped. The gabled porch includes an entrance with a four-centred arch and a half-glazed door.[2]
Internally, substantial remains of the original timber-framed structure survive. These include ovolo-moulded beams and posts on both floors, as well as a ground-floor room with moulded beams. A fireplace bressummer is present alongside a later stone fireplace with a herringbone brick back. On the first floor, king post and strut trusses rest on wall posts, illustrating the building's historic construction methods.[1]
