Where was the location for the original ground we played at? My lad has an under 11s game at Sheffield works dept ground which is labelled as olive grove.

Original ground was where the bend in road is and the big concrete dome stands now 

 

Works department is about 300 yards up the hill on left has a decent little bar in it ( if open )

That's interesting, so even though we didn't change the name officially to Sheffield Wednesday until the 1920's it was still used beforehand. I didn't know that, had understood it was just The Wednesday previous to that

cheers

The name of the company when originally formed was 'The Wednesday Football Club Limited'.

 

The company name was officially changed in 1929 with companies house or it's equivalent in those days.

I half expected when you enhanced the photo that the words "Presto Stand" would be revealed on the roof.

 

Lovely pic by the way.
