Salford Lads' Club

Salford Lads' Club is a recreational club in the Ordsall area of Salford, Greater Manchester, England. The club, on the corner of St. Ignatius Walk and Coronation Street, was established in 1903 as a boys' club but today welcomes both boys and girls and organises activities including football, snooker, table tennis, computer games, boxing training, dance, community meetings, exhibitions, kickboxing, excursions and Jujitsu.
The club was opened on 30 January 1904 by Robert Baden-Powell, who later founded the Scout movement. Former members include actor Albert Finney, footballers Albert McPherson, Steve Fleet, Eddie Colman and Brian Doyle, Allan Clarke, lead singer of 1960s pop group The Hollies, and Graham Nash, guitarist, songwriter and singer with The Hollies who went on to form Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.〔(BBC Wales 2008: Salford Lads and Girls Club ) Retrieved on 2008-07-14〕
The building gained listed status in 2003 as its tiled interior is virtually unchanged with original fittings and includes a boxing ring, snooker rooms and a gym with a viewing balcony. English Heritage said: "The building is thought to be the most complete example of this rare form of social provision to survive in England." In 2007, the ''Manchester Evening News'' reported that the building, which was used for the sleeve of The Smiths album ''The Queen Is Dead'', came third in a nationwide hunt to find the most iconic buildings in the country.
== History ==
The concept of a boys' club grew up in the 19th century as a way of keeping young boys "off the streets" and encouraging them to become "good and worthy God-fearing citizens".〔see:
Retrieved on 2008-07-17〕 The clubs were usually set up by local philanthropic businessmen and it was soon realised that to compete with the outside attractions of freedom from restraint and gambling they must provide not only for draughts, bagatelle, and billiards but for more exciting pursuits that most boys could not otherwise obtain such as gymnastics, boxing, fives, swimming and, especially, outdoor games.〔
In Salford and Manchester, a number of these clubs grew up in the most deprived areas, the first of which was Hulme Lads' Club, founded in 1850.〔(Greater Manchester Federation of Clubs for Young People: Our origins ) Retrieved on 2008-07-17〕 Salford Lads' Club was founded in 1903 by two brothers, James and William Groves, from the family of brewers that were partners with Arthur William Whitnall in the Groves and Whitnall Brewery〔see http://www.grovesandwhitnall.co.uk Date accessed: 2010-02-28〕 on Regent Road in Salford.〔see http://www.salfordladsclub.org.uk/index.php/Section3.html Date accessed: 2008-07-17〕 Built and designed by Manchester architect Henry Lord, who was also responsible for the former Salford Royal Hospital and Salford Museum and Art Gallery, the club was opened on 30 January 1904 by Robert Baden-Powell, three years before he founded the Scout movement.〔
The club has held an annual camp holiday in Tan-y-Bwlch, Aberystwyth, Wales, since 1904. According to club worker and local artist Leslie Holmes: "Salford Lads' Club has a remarkable tradition that predates the first Scout camps set up by Lord Baden Powell. Salford Lads' Club first camp was at Llanddulas in 1904, when 173 boys took part." The camps have been held during Whitsun since 1934.
