Location

ymca picThe Manchester "Wildcats" Freestyle Wrestling Club is located at the 'Y' Club Leisure Centre which is attached to the Castlefield Hotel in Liverpool Road, Manchester. To the right is a photograph of the Leisure Centre showing it located in the foreground and the hotel towards the rear backing onto Liverpool Road.

The complex is part of the regeneration of the Castlefield Canal basin which was built at ymca picthe time of the industrial revolution in the 19th century. A view of the canal basin as seen from the leisure complex shows the Victorian iron and other bridges that span the canal basin. The construction of these bridges heralded the end of water transport as the railways became the principle means of industrial transport between the cities of Liverpool and Manchester. The basin is now used as moorings for privately owned barges and there is a public arena where outdoor concerts are held in the summer.

The address of the Manchester 'Y' Club Leisure Centre is:
