[Thundercat 10]

I heard some of the Full Monty was filmed at a working mens club in Brightside...anyone know anything about the club?

I always thought it was Shiregreen WMC.

On Southey Green Road near the roundabout at the top of the hill.

Shiregreen I thought, where they are building new flats on the site

Nah Den Ace....

 

Definitely Shiregreen Working Mens....althought they called it "Millthorpe" in the film. I think they must have got the idea for the name from the firm Millthorpe Metals Recycling Ltd, which is nearby at Tyler St at Wincobank.

They certainly do, and they are an absolute treasure. The farther north you go the more of them there is it seems.

Most are now referred to as social clubs, for example Woodseats, Farm Road and St Phillips.

There are not only working men's clubs in the north, I have seen quite a few around Leicester!
