frits_stuur Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I am interested in W.J. Patchett (1875-1931). I have not seen this myself, but I was told that in White's Register for 1919, Patchett appears as: Builder & billiard saloon 17 Withens Avenue & Dodd Street At the time, it surprised me that W.J. Patchett, whom I knew (and am primarily interested in) as a builder & contractor, should also be listed vis-a-vis a billiard saloon. I have now found a report of Patchett's funeral. At the funeral, "The Wadsley Houses Social Club, Ltd. was represented by" no fewer than 20 men. I would now assume that the billiard saloon of 1919 and the Social Club of 1931 are somehow connected. Does anyone have more information on the Wadsley Houses Social Club, Ltd.? I am intrigued by the addition of "Ltd." to a club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wadsley House Social Club Ltd.( House without the S) is this one and the same. It is situated on, The Drive, off Marlcliffe Rd I have been there a few times to weddings, parties etc. It may be worth your while giving them a ring. They may have details of old members etc. Their Phone number - 0114 2343386 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrodbo Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I live out of town and visit this club with my brother who is a member and ex chairman. it has lots of plaques and memoribilia scattered around the place and is still a very nice club for snooker and in particular crown green bowling.
