Administrative / biographical background:

Openshaw Lad's Club was founded in November 1888 by William John Crossley. It was previously known as the Gorton and Openshaw Working Lad's Club and the Crossley Lad's Club. The Crossley family financed the club up to 1941 and they built the club premises, Crossley House to commemorate Sir William Crossley after his death in 1911. The building was opened in September 1913.

 

In July 1941 the premises were handed over to the National Association of Boy's Clubs and a management committee was formed to administer the club as it still does today.
