I visited The Salford Lads Club one Saturday morning recently, I was aware of the connections it has with the Smiths but having looked at their website there is so much more to this place. It is still a club and welcomes both boys and girls, they open their doors to the public on a Saturday morning and you can take a wander round with one of the volunteers, I had the pleasure of being shown around by a gentleman called Brian, such a nice chap, he showed me round their archives where they keep a record of every child who has been a member over the years, each membership card telling its own unique story. They have a Boxing gym and ring upstairs and a snooker room, it really is a special place. Then of course there is the Smiths room which brings a huge amount of visitors as well. I won't go into much more detail as it might spoil your own visit, but to say it has featured in quite a few tv shows. What an amazing place it is.
