Woolton Hall is a traditional University of Manchester hall of residence situated within the Fallowfield Campus complex. Established in 1959 as a male-only hall (and remaining a men's hall until 1990) it was the last traditional catered hall of residence founded as part of the University of Manchester,[1] during a period of ambitious residential expansion for the university. Along with Hulme Hall, Dalton-Ellis Hall, Ashburne Hall, and St. Anselm Hall, Woolton is one of the five remaining traditional collegiate halls of residence at the University of Manchester. The hall is catered and contains a Junior Common Room.

The hall is catered with two meals served a day,[2] and made up of five residential blocks: Spencer, Lindsay, Morley, Cavendish and Ashley. Ashley is for postgraduates only.[3] They are situated around two quadrangles along with the main building, which contains the dining hall, kitchens, and common areas.
