Iconic club in conservation plea - BBC News
Salford Lads Club and the real Coronation Street could soon be given conservation status.
Excerpt:
But the club's owners are now trying to raise £1m for repairs to the building, which has listed status.
It was built by brewers JG and WG Groves and was designed by Manchester architect Henry Lord.
Lord was also responsible for the former Salford Royal Hospital and Salford Museum and Art Gallery.
Councillor Derek Antrobus, said: "It is important we do all we can to preserve key parts of the fabric of our city.
"Now we will work on the detail of this scheme before we ask local people for their input."
