In the inagurural season of the League, Blackburn Rovers played at a ground called Leamington Road. I don't know exactly where it was but there is only a short part of this road which is flat enough for a football pitch. If the ground was called Leamington Road, I would guess that Leamington Road already existed and the ground was to one side of it. I rode along the side streets on both sides for the length of the flat part so I can be fairly sure that at some point I passed across where the pitch used to be.
