Statement of Significance
The building illustrates the variety of organisations that were active in the town when the mine was at its peak with a workforce of about 250. The building was used by Manchester Unity Lodge, which commenced in 1924, until 1982. RAOB may have closed before 1982. The building is now privately owned with an uncertain future.
