The Rusholme part of Slade was held of Nicholas Long- ford by a rent of 2s. 6d. and the Gorton part of John Lacy then lord of ; Slade Hall is a timber house on a low stone base built at the end of the i6th century, and still pre- serving its ancient front. It is of two stories, the upper one projecting on a plaster cove, and has two gables on the principal elevation facing east. The front has been extended northward by an addition, built about 1681, the end of which faces the road, and is now painted to imitate half-timber work. The north end of the house was formerly continued east- ward as a projecting wing, but the buildings, which were of brick, and two stories in height, have been pulled down in recent times. The present front of pally of straight diagonal pieces between the con- structional timbers, but has quatrefoil panels in the smaller gable. On a beam over the porch is cut, or stamped, the date 1585 and the initials E. S. for Edward Siddall the builder of the house. Underneath are the initials G. S. (George Siddall, his son). The date 1585 is also on another beam in the front. The two dates and the initials E. S. are inclosed in ornamental bor- ders. The west and south sides have been faced in brick, and a block added at the north-west, which is a rather good specimen of the dignified brick archi- tecture of the early part of the 19 th century. The roofs are covered with modern blue slates, and the chimneys are of brick.
