Category Archives: Historic Name That Ground

Starting around this time last year (and going on for the following 35 weeks) I posted an image of a football ground taken in the past every Monday as a challenge to see if you could recognise the ground. Some were easy, others not so. If you missed them you can now go through each week’s ground and the answers. You can start here:

On Monday I asked you to name this ground. Did you recognise this ground? I said at the time: ‘This is a 1940s photo of this ground during a game. The ground still exists but it is no longer a Football League venue.’

The answer is Stockport County’s Edgeley Park. The game was a Stockport Boys v Salford Boys game which ended 1-0 to Salford. The Salford keeper in this photo is Evans and the Stockport number 11 is Kane..
