Rovers also won the FA Cup in their last season at the Wagtail. Then the next season in their first at Ewood Park. But three FA Cups in a row (The Thrice) hasn't been done since and means we hold the longest unbeaten run.

Interesting entry in Barrett's Directory of Blackburn from 1888. The highest house number on Leamington Street is no.46. Thomas Brown Mitchell (Rovers Manager) lived at 27 Leamington Street. Matthew Lyon 29 Leamington Street & Rovers football ground, Cheltenham Street. So at least we now know where our most successful manager lived.

This sale of lots is from 1882. Rovers moved to Leamington Street the year before. It's looking like the ground was behind the Leamington pub on Cheltenham St.

Typical Rovers. We don't know when we were formed. We also had the first purpose built football ground in the world and we're not sure of its exact location. There must be photographs of Leamington Street somewhere?
