Where are Rovers old grounds?

There’s a Rover street on there.

Could that be some sort of clue?

Someone else mentioned that there was a Rover St named after the ground after it wascobbled over which was later renamed Wellfield Rd as it still is today.

Wellfield Rd is a very flat bit but Im guessing it would be slightly further over towards East Lancs Cricket Club than where the pitch was or at least would have marked the boundary of the ground on that side.

Great find.

More evidence the ground started at one end just the other side of Granville Rd by Leamington Rd Church.

At the other end there's no earthly way it could have stretched any further than where St. Silas's Rd is now.

Id say the top picture is clearly wrong and the ground was lower down in what appears to be another empty plot to the bottom right.

The plot in the yellow box has a slope of around 45 degrees!

Edit: to add to this although there seems to be a Club letter with "Wagtail" in the address I think at the time Leamington St finished at the junction with what is now Granville Rd.
