'This is a gloriously unexpected gem of English architecture, almost miraculously intact'
At a glance it resembles a well preserved mansion with immaculate gardens in Cheshire. But is actually surrounded by an urban drone of vehicles, next to the Metrolink, and passed by hordes on their way to watch Manchester United and Lancashire and England play just up the road. Yet it provides an oasis of calm.
SAVE’s listing application had the blessing of the club owners and also gained support from historian and leading authority on sporting heritage, Simon Inglis. A rare example of a pre-1914 sports pavilion dating from the early period of historic amateur sport, reasons for listing include its "architectural ambition and unusually large scale", says Historic England.
The current pavilion was built in late 1877, on land which had been acquired in February of that year from Sir Humphrey de Trafford’s Trafford Park estate. The foundation stone was laid in July 1877 by Councillor Hampson, the chairman of the limited company, whose office was in Manchester’s Barton Arcade.
