In 2014, we completed a new home for our archive of photographs and membership records. In 2015, we created a Wall of Names in the dedicated archive room to acknowledge all 22,500 young people who have been members of Salford Lads Club since 1903.

The Wall of Names artwork was designed by Why Not Associates and was installed in December 2015. The wall includes the initial and surname of everyone who has been a member of the club since it was founded. These records are already in digital form and were scanned for us in 2013 by Ancestry UK.

The Wall of Names can be viewed by visitors at our open days.

The project was been funded by a bequest from Eileen Groves (a member of the founding family who established the club in 1903) and former Lads Club member Fred Done, owner of Betfred.
