This lovely building now stands derelict, I don’t know if it has a future due to the demolition of the community around it. I imagine its even nicer under the pebbledash.
The carved 1908 date stone leaves no question as to its age.
I would imagine the name plaque is also original
I have found one reference to its construction :- Fred Walshaw, architect, 69 Lorne Terrace, South Bank ; T. W. Wade, secretary of the club
South Bank and District Unionist Club

This was closed down around Autumn 2010 if I recall correctly. The upper level of the building was used as South Bank ABC (Boxing club) and was in a major need or renovation/demolition. Since then the club has vacated and I’d imagine demolition is imminent. Such a shame, so many boxing memories from there!
Please get in touch for further news!
Thanks
