Britten Memorial Institute and Library
Originally founded in 1900 at 64A Bridge St., Manchester, England, as "a school of prophets" for the training of mediums, an idea proposed by nineteenth-century Spiritualist writer Emma Hardinge Britten. A trust fund was raised by Mr. A. W. Orr with trustees E. W. Oaten, W. A. Herring, and E. A. Keeling. Its library had over 3,000 volumes, many from a collection donated by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The institute and library are no longer in operation.
