Wadsley Bridge Working Mans Club is first depicted on the 1934 OS map. A grassed area to the east of the building is marked as a bowling green. The club appears to have reused and extended a large detached villa type residence for its use. The house is first shown in its own grounds on the 1892 25 inch OS map. The clubs grounds contain many mature trees which are probably a survival from these gardens. Prior to the house, the plot is shown as a triangular shaped field on the 1st edition OS map of 1855, probably created through piecemeal enclosure. Legibility is partial. The plot retains its shape from the 1st edition OS map, the house is reused and some of the garden planting remains.
