Brian Appleyard Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Another photo from Stanley Appleyard's albums. I have no idea of names of people in the photo or what the connection was. Stanley would have 18 years old at the time was living at Manvers Road, Sheffield. The 'Midland' in the title appears to be a reference to the name of the club and not connected with the Midland Football League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could Midland refer to the Midland Railway or perhaps a "Midland Works" team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponytail Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 If they were playing at The Farm it was in the grounds of the Duke of Norfolks Mansion, behind the Midland Station. Sheffield College occupies the site. https://sheffielder.net/2020/02/08/the-farm/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
