About
The British Muslim Heritage Centre, formerly the GMB National College, is a Grade II* listed early Gothic Revival building on College Road in Whalley Range, an area of Manchester, England. Built between 1840 and 1843 as the Lancashire Independent College, a Congregational institution designed by Irwin and Chester, it later became known as the Northern Congregational College and housed refugee academics during the Second World War. The college remained in educational use until 1985, after which the building served as the GMB National College until its closure in 2004. It is now home to the British Muslim Heritage Centre, established to promote Muslim heritage and identity in Britain.
