About

The Brady past and present.

The Brady Centre first opened its doors as the Brady Girls Club and Settlement in June 1935. Designed by Ernest Joseph ( Messrs Joseph) architect and youth worker. The Brady Boys Club opened in April 1896 in Durward Street nearby, the Boys Club moved to join the Girls Club in 1960.
