A golfer who broke down barriers in the game was remembered for her work when a plaque was revealed in Stretford.
Lilian Saatweber was a resident of the area all her life and was the lady captain of golf clubs like Manchester Golf Club.
Born in 1864, to Eliza Leicester and Frederick Leicester, she was a dance teacher according to a census when she was a teenager. In 1884, she was wedded to Gustav Adolf Saatweber at St Mary's Church in Hulme, Manchester.
Mr Saatweber became the captain of Trafford Golf Club and this is where Mrs Saatweber became involved in her first golf club. In 1904, she became involved in Manchester Golf Club as treasurer and secretary of the ladies' club.
Mrs Saatweber was the one to convince those in charge the ladies' club should be independent of the men's club and was its first lady captain.
She went on to other roles in the sport including as president and secretary of the Manchester and District Ladies' Golf Association up until her death around two months before the outbreak of the First World Ward in 1914.
She was remembered when a plaque was revealed at UA92, not far from her last residence on what was Kings Avenue, in the presence of attendees including Trafford Council leader Tom Ross and deputy leader Cath Hynes.
Cllr Hynes said: "It is an honour to be able to pay tribute to an amazing trailblazer in women's sport. Lilian was responsible for making the women's part of Manchester Golf Club a success, so it is fantastic we are able to honour her in this way.
"Women have had a role throughout Trafford's history and our Local Studies Trailblazing Women of Trafford series is a great way of highlighting the important work they have done for our borough."
Sarah Prowse, the chief executive of UA92, said: "I am delighted to be at the unveiling today. We are honoured our building is being used to recognise such an amazing trailblazer in women's sport.
"A woman who broke down barriers and was a first in many, many of her achievements."
