Salford Lads Club

Founded in 1903 and officially opened in 1904 by Robert Baden‑Powell, this Grade II-listed community centre on Coronation Street, Ordsall, has supported generations of young people through sports, arts, drama, and educational programmes. Immortalised on the inner sleeve of The Smiths’ album The Queen Is Dead, it now draws music and culture fans worldwide. The club welcomes kids, teens, families, and heritage explorers, offering a blend of organised youth activities and open heritage tours. Whether you're playing football, boxing, snooker, attending workshops, or exploring The Smiths Room archive, it’s a colourful and community-driven gathering place.
