Moor Allerton

[1][2][3] The earlier part of the centre was opened by Mr Arthur Craven (director of library services) on 5 March 1982.

[11] After the First World War there was a substantial Jewish population in North Leeds including some very successful businessmen.

[12] A consortium purchased farm land North of Nursery Lane and West of Primley Park Road.

[12] Its presence made it attractive as a social venue, and many houses were constructed nearby on what had been a sparsely populated area.

[12] In the late 1960s land was purchased on Blackmoor Farm and the Nursery Lane site was sold for housing.

The club opened on its present site off Coal Road, Wike, LS17, on 2 May 1971 with Eldon Griffiths, the Minister for Sport officiating.
