This blue commemorative plaque records: Club Row This terrace of 20 properties was erected between 1794 and 1804. Thought to be the oldest surviving example of properties built by a building society in the world. Each had a basement room for a handloom, a coalhouse and a 'Necessary'. The 20 men who clubbed together to form the building society were local yeomen, handloom weavers and stonemasons. Recorded plaque organisation: Longridge Heritage Committee.
