Garswood Conservative Club put on the market after 116 year history

As reported by the Star, Garswood Conservative and Working Men's Club closed its doors for the final time on Friday, May 10, after a 116 year history in the village.

Launched way back in 1908, the Station Road 'Conny Club' has been a popular place for cheap drinks, live music, and live sports over the years.

The club has also brought the community together with various charity fundraisers.

With the closure blamed on "spiralling costs and much reduced income", residents in Garswood have aired frustrations that it is the latest community venue that has closed down in the community.

A public statement at the time of closure said: "It is with great sadness that due to spiralling costs and much reduced income, we have to advise that the club will cease trading on Friday, May 10.

"The club was established in 1908 and survived two World Wars.

"We thank the staff, committee, and all of our loyal members who have supported us over the years."
