History: Ladybridge Sports and Social Club was the home to local sporting events for over 65 years. Facilities included a bowling green, playing fields, an indoor bar for refreshment, a member's bar and a games room with pool tables and table football. In mid-2018 the Club wished to modernise their premises by demolishing their changing rooms, the pavilion and equipment storage buildings, and erecting a new pavilion. The social club building would be refurbished. It was proposed to resurface the car park and extend it from 60 to 65 parking spaces, as well as having associated landscaping. It was possible that Lacrosse had been played here for 125 years. The spelling of nearby Crossefield Road built in 1928 suggested that the club predated that road. Sports included lacrosse, cricket, bowling and football. The building had two storeys until badly damaged by fire in 1925. Unlike many clubs this was one of several in Stockport MBC that had a pubs license so anyone could use it without being a member. There was a central bar, off which were two function rooms, one large with a pulldown screen, and a smaller one with TV type screen suitable for a lesser number of people. On the other side of the bar was a games room with pool tables and table football.
