Coventry's working men's clubs in pictures from the 'Dirty Stop Outs'
A trip down memory lane to the social clubs that were at the heart of communities from the Dirty Stop Outs
Coventry's social and working men's clubs were the hearts of their communities. Adults had year-round fun and games, while their kids counted down the days towards big events like Christmas parties.
If you miss those days, then here's something that might scratch your itch. The Dirty Stop Out's Guide to Coventry's Working Men's Clubs has revealed some more photos from their nostalgic book, looking back on the heights of the clubs.
Written by Ruth Cherrington with the help of many contributors, near and far, she said: "These amazing years will never be repeated and it has been my life's ambition to ensure they are never forgotten."
See the photos below, along with some previous pictures here. Visit the Dirty Stop Outs website to see more information on their throwback books.
