Salford Lads' Club, by Henry Lord, 1904. It has a very well preserved interior. The listing states that it was "designed to provide sporting, recreational and performance facilities, and is thought to be the most complete example of this rare form of social provision to survive in England". Paid for by J.G. and W.G. Groves for the residents of the city's first municipal housing estate. Grade II listed. Still a youth club, probably best known for featuring on an album cover of the Smiths.
