Built in 1880, Cobden Working Men's Club has seen a variety of uses over the years and is currently being converted into a single dwelling, an art gallery and offices. The architects were Pennington and Brigden, of whom little seems to be known except that they worked in London and Manchester. The club is believed to have been named after 19th-century radical politician Richard Cobden. This classically Victorian building has Italianate influences and may be the earliest surviving purpose-built working men's club in the UK.
