The story of The Crossings Club is closely tied to the model village of Ironville, the Butterley Company and the industrial heritage of Codnor Park.
The model village of Ironville was created by the Butterley Company between 1834 and 1860 to house the workers of the Codnor Park Foundry and Wagon Works. The ironworks became renowned for producing high-quality wrought iron.
One of its most famous contributions was to St Pancras Station, which was constructed using nearly 7,000 tons of wrought and cast iron manufactured at Codnor Park Forge and the Butterley Foundry. The Company also invested in the welfare of its workforce, establishing buildings such as the Temperance Hall and the Mechanics Institute.
The Temperance Hall later became home to the Conservative Club. Codnor Park and Ironville Club was founded on its current site in 1914, with both the land and buildings gifted to the Club by the Butterley Company. Locally, it is affectionately known as The Crossings Club, a name that recalls the former railway line that once carried coal to the forge and crossed the road near the Club.
Today, the Club remains a cornerstone of community life. It hosts skittle, darts and dominoes teams, as well as BBQs, Saturday breakfasts, Wednesday dinners, live entertainment, charity events, and much-loved children's parties at Easter and Christmas.
