Uttley House

Uttley House (formerly named The Firs), is a Grade II listed building and halls of residence in Fallowfield, Manchester, England.

It was originally built for Sir Joseph Whitworth; the house was later the home of C. P. Scott, editor of the Manchester Guardian.

Whitworth used The Firs mainly as a social, political and business base, entertaining radicals of the age such as John Bright, Richard Cobden, William Forster and T. H. Huxley at the time of the Reform Bill of 1867.

[9] During World War I, various drugs were grown and developed at the station, including Atropa belladonna and Hyoscyamus niger.

[10] The facility houses an air quality monitoring station, greenhouses, climate controlled growing environments and remnants of the old botanical garden.
