Until recently it was home to the Rechabite Friendly Society.

The web site historyshelf.org says this about the Rechabites. "The International Order of Rechabites take their name from an eponymous biblical tribe, who were 'commanded to drink no wine' by their leader Jonadab son of Recab, and successfully resisted when tempted to do so. Taking their inspiration from the story, the founders of the Order opened their first 'Tent' or branch in Salford on 25 August 1835, in effect relaunching and subsuming an older Salford Temperance Burial Society."

A listing of friendly Societies says: "This society offers financial services to people who are non-drinkers. More than an alcohol-free friendly society, its members share a common vision of a better way to live and a truly mutual society."
