Mike Tetlow very kindly gave me the following tit-bit of information concerning Chamber Hall:

When working in Oldham recently and being very near to the site of "Chamber Hall" I spoke to an elderly local lady. She said when she was a little girl it was still standing, say around 1925. She said it looked a very dark and and forbidding building. She and the other children used to run past it. They named it "Mother Black Jacks". On speaking to her husband he said speaking in a very broad lancashire accent "Eh lad them tetlas were Lancashire Steam Boiler Builders".
