Oddfellows Hall I

Oddfellows' Hall, originally Bridge House, is located at 16–24 Lower Bridge Street. It was originally a town house built in 1676 for Lady Mary Calverley, who petitioned the City Assembly for permission to demolish her house, which contained a section of the Chester Rows, and replace it with a new house. This was granted, but as it led to the loss of a portion of the Rows she was fined £20 (£2,700 as of 2012). Nowadays, it has become a boutique hotel, of which more later.
