It became a Nursery for a short while, kids not plants, and now it is a shop, newspapers, groceries etc etc. The club you refer to is opposite this place, Ex Service Mens Club on the corner of College Rd/Hurstwood Rd. The ground next to the shop used to be the school fields and then next to that is the recreation park with the brooke running between them, this makes it's way through Witton Lakes/Brookevale/Salford.
