HughW Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I had thought that his father was James, a silver plater, but I found some conflicting evidence which suggests that he was son of Nathaniel (also a silver plater), brother of James... from: Wallis, PJ (n.d.)

Guest TheCig Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 The Sheffield FC Headquarters were established in a potting shed and greenhouse. but what road was it situated on/near to? Not quite right. The inaugural meeting of Sheffield F.C. took place on 24 October 1857 at Parkfield House in Highfield. The building is still there at 118 Alderson Road SHEFFIELD. Anyone doing a search will discover that Redmile Homes operate their business from that property. Oh in case you wondered, I am a Sheffield FC historian and contribute to the match day programmes.

Rich The inaugural meeting of Sheffield F.C. took place on 24 October 1857 at Parkfield House in the suburb of Highfield.[10] The original headquarters would become a greenhouse on East Bank Road. The adjacent field was used as their first playing ground. Wike Sheffield Rules : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheffield_Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
