Lonsdale Gymnasium Club (Manchester)

This is a bit of an obscure one, and more relevant to boxing than wrestling. However, I know we have a few folks here familiar with Manchester and its wrestling connections, so I wondered if anyone remembered the Lonsdale Gymnasium Club that was in Smithfield Market.

If you look at the photos in this newspaper advertisement they had a collection of old wrestling posters, independent ones too. Seems like it may have been a short-lived enterprise.

I would say so Ron, this newspaper ad is posted into one of Dave Cameron's scrapbooks, but I don't recall the year. But I thought it might have been mailed to him at least a couple of years after the ad was run in the UK. Hopeing to learn more about it. I believe the location is now home to the Common Pizza Restaurant.
