Houldsworth Working Men's Club

Houldsworth Working Men's Club is a red brick building with stone details and Gothic Revival features located in Reddish. It forms part of the larger Houldsworth Model Village complex developed in the area.

Architect Alfred Waterhouse designed the building in 1874 for mill owner William Houldsworth who wanted to provide social facilities for his workers. It was created as part of a broader effort to give working families community spaces and opportunities for social gathering.

The club serves as a social hub where locals gather for community activities and meetings that continue today. Its role has always centered on bringing residents together for shared experiences and neighborhood life.

The building is easily accessible from Leamington Road with a clear main entrance. It sits next to the historic mill site, which helps with finding the location.

The building is one of the few surviving structures from the original Houldsworth Model Village, offering a rare glimpse into worker support during the 19th century. Its placement directly across from the former mill site creates a direct connection between work and leisure spaces of that era.
