Lancastrian Office Centre history

Lancastrian was built for the Government in 1967 on the grounds of the Lancashire County Cricket Club (LCCC) which has been their home at Old Trafford since 1857. LCCC is home to one of the most famous anecdotes of the sporting world. In 1884 Richard Barlow, playing for the North of England versus the Australians, faced the famous demon bowler Spofforth who predicted the opposition would be out for 60 runs. Barlow scored a century, took 10 Australian wickets and was cheered from the field. Murdoch, the Australian captain, was so impressed with Barlow’s skills that he took off his cap and presented it to the Lancastrian. The story was headlined in the press and the creation of the well-known saying "I'll take my hat off to you’’ originates from the cap presented to Barlow.
