Shipley Working Men's Club

The building may be an unprepossessing 1960s box, but the club itself appears to be thriving with regular live entertainment. Although now known simply as the Shipley Working Men's Club, the old sign tells us that it was the Shipley Colliery Working Men's Club. Mining actually ceased at Shipley Colliery by 1930. On the left side of the sign is the Kimberley Ales yellow hop logo. Kimberley Ales were brewed by Hardys and Hansons at nearby Kimberley until the brewery closed in 2006.
