Barley and retep1949, you are both sort of right but slightly wrong. Strangeways Hall farm was exactly where you said, retep1949, accessed opposite the Strangeways pub. The Strangeways Hall Colliery was quite close to the Hall but not opposite as Barley says. It was on the opposite side of Liverpool Rd but about 300 yds away.
