More about this scene
This is the quadrangle of Owen's College, with the gateway out to Oxford Road on the right of the picture. In 1886-7 the Museum part of the college was among the buildings added to the complex. Owen's College was one of the first to hold classes for females (but not in mixed classes), and the first to have an engineering laboratory. In 1898, when Parliament passed an Act for Manchester to have its own University, it was Owen's College which became the core of that University.
