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.
Don't let them Toffees tell you Goodison was the first purpose built football ground. Our Leamington Street ground was the daddy of them all.
When Rovers did win a raffle
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?
