Visited alone & with @coolboyslim , @GRONK
thanks for the company lads.
The Medical School was opened in 1874, after Owens college incorporated a private medical school run by doctors.
Formal medical education in Manchester began when Joseph Jordan opened the first anatomy school in 1814,
Jordan however offered dissections as well as lectures and medical education proved good business.
The private anatomy schools, which had competed with one another became incorporated with the hospitals
but in the provinces private medical schools continued beyond 1870.
Using the hospitals for clinical teaching, but not formally attached to them.
Jordan's school was challenged in 1824 by the Pine Street School headed by Thomas Turner,
another enterprising surgeon and a third school opened in 1829.
By the 1840s Turner's school was unchallenged, Turner had been one of the proponents of Manchester university
a new school by George Southam soon outclassed Turner's school and took it over when Turner retired in 1856.
Southam and Turner tried to persuade Owens college, which had opened in 1851 to include medicine but the trustees had refused because they feared medical students would lower the tone of the new college.
Over the next decade the relationships changed, the medical profession raised the standards of medical education including more laboratory science and there was pressure for better behaviour.
In the later 1860s Owens College looked to increase its provision for laboratory sciences,
and saw medical students as a profitable audience.
As it planned its extension and move, Owens agreed to take over Southam's school
that the medical school would now be based on Oxford Road then added to the arguments for moving the infirmary away from the city centre, which eventually happened in 1908.
In 1874 Thomas Henry Huxley officially opened the new medical school, behind the main college buildings.
It had a library, a dissection room and an excellent physiology laboratory headed by Professor Arthur Gamgee
a chemical physiologist who was expected to link the medical school with the Henry Roscoe's chemistry department, Several of the clinical staff came from Southam's school.
The medical School was extended in the 1880s and connected with the extensions of the chemistry department.
A large extension was built on Coupland Street in the mid 1890s, which made Manchester one of the largest and best-equipped medical schools in England.
Elliot Smith became the Dean of Medicine, Vice-Chancellor of the University and then, under the new NHS, the first Chairman of the Manchester Regional Hospital Board.
In 1974 the medical school moved to a new building, named for John Sebastion Bach Stopford.
