What is remarkable here is that those faces were some of the first to ever watch a professional game of football in the world, given that Notts were formed in 1862..before the actual FA. Mitchell & Kenyon did more than just take film here

Beautiful and awe-inspiring to reflect that every living soul there will by now be long gone........

Razors were as rare then as imaginative clothes. So sad that 1914 was around the corner, even for the children

64 fans were arrested that day for public order offences

I've been to many games at Meadow Lane where the crowd was much more interesting than the football.
