Ardwick Manchester Hospital Font

[alleycat]

Hi There,

I'm looking for the name of fonts, or for similar fonts to the ones used across the Ancoats/Ardwick areas of Manchester.

The font was used on various buildings  - the hospital, factories etc in the late 1800s 

Many Thanks

These aren’t typefaces,* but architectural lettering.

For something with a similar feeling, you could perhaps start with Albertus.
