 It's been 32 days since I last visited a ground from the 1888-1889 League season because all of the teams which played that year were from the North or the Midlands. Three of the last four clubs on my list did play that year and all three of them have subsequently moved to new premises so I've got three residential streets to show you. This is the first. It was the site of the Wellington Road ground, where Aston Villa played from 1876 to 1897. It was William McGregor, a director of Aston Villa, who proposed the idea of a football league so in a sense the League began here.
