"The Institute was constructed on the former site of the Albert Club, which was a Victorian club that was located between Lawson Street and Clifford Street.[7][8] The club was established for the middle class German community that were involved in Manchester's cotton trade, and Friedrich Engels frequented it during his time in the city, becoming a member in 1842.[7][8] The club was located on Clifford Street from 1842 prior to its relocation in 1859.[9] The building was constructed by the architect Jeptha Pacey as his personal house, and it was fronted by formal gardens. It was later converted into a private social club, which was named after Albert, Prince Consort. More recently it had been re-purposed as Turkish public baths,[7] and was later used as a hospital for women and children.[10] The building was demolished in the 1960s,[citation needed] and the site was used for the construction of the Lamb Building.[11]
The excavations that took place in February 2013 by Oxford Archaeology North, prior to the construction of the Institute, uncovered the remnants of the club building along with a row of five cellars belonging to 1830s terraced housing. A sink removed from the site has been incorporated into the institute's new building.[7] As the main clean room of the new building will be located 3 metres below ground level,[11] the remains of the Albert Club were not conserved."
