The club was founded in 1875 at the Crown and Anchor Hotel with the original boathouse being located on Lock Street, Winnington Bank. [2]

In 1907 the club moved to the Riversdale Estate before moving to its present location during the 1960s. Women were allowed to join as members in 1975 and in 1996 the club became part of the Project Oarsome Scheme. [3]
