Birkenhead FC - 8th Aug 2012 8:06pm
I'm looking into the short lived Birkenhead FC which existed between 1899-1909.
Their first ground was called 'Bedford Park' in Rockferry which i think is the football ground (on the 1910 ordnance survey map) at what was once the bottom of Bedford Road but that is just a guess.
What i'm really struggling with is that by 1900-01 season they they are described as playing at 'Chester Street Enclosure'. The only chester street i could find was in birkenhead and i couldn't see football pitch on the 1910 ordnance survey map. Anyone got any ideas where it could be.
On the off chance anyone has any pictures of Birkenhead FC that would also be great.
