A Clarion Club House was a building used by a Clarion Cycling Club.[1] A number of these were established across England. They were a series of rural facilities which provided accommodation for the various local clubs affiliated to the National Clarion Cycling Club.
The cycling journalist, Kuklos (i.e.Fitzwater Wray), was a supporter of the Clarion Cycling Clubs who wrote for The Clarion Cyclist. In 1936 he described a circular route taking in four of the clubhouses.[1]
The Dore Moor Clarion Club House was built in 1920 in Dore, previously in Derbyshire but now a suburb of Sheffield. The foundation stone was laid by "Archbishop" Bill Munslow.[2] The club house was in use until 1967, by which time the club house was more or less defunct.[3]
