Sports clubhouse at Simon Field, Ford Lane

Part of Simon Playing Field

This is one of the largest fields in Didsbury and has staged many events in the past with thousands of people congregating here to attend agricultural shows, whit week celebrations and sporting events of various kinds. Note the floodlights, which enable training to take place on winter evenings. Being low-lying and part of the Mersey flood storage basin, the field is sometimes under water.
