The Steam Clock Inn was on the corner of Newhall Road & Brightside Lane, where the car park of La Piazza Caffe is now. This confirmed by both ( for reference) ‘Sheffield Public Houses’ by Mick Liversedge & ‘A Pub on Every Corner’ by Douglas Lamb I’m a regular watcher/supporter of Sheffield FC & am au fait with the history you detail very well in these videos, but am fascinated by the new discoveries since Martin Westby sadly left us. Keep them coming.
Blah blah blah blah -Aussie rules football-what started Avon before that-it was made official around about the same time-you should know and understand it started 10 years before that+170 years later-it has become the greatest game in the world-it's schitz all over sucker and would bury it 10 ft deep-like get the f*** out
Hi Brad, the first "kickabouts" for Sheffield football date to at least 1855, official club 1857 & rules 1858. Aussie rules (a different game to association football) held unofficial "kickabouts" in 1858 & published rules in 1859 so came after "soccer". I believe there is also a link to a Creswick behind both?

The makes sense for the Newhall ground then. Many thanks.
The worry that I have is that this move to Meadowhead has been going on for so long now and the signs at the roundabout have been up for ages.
It does sound like this are happening this time Melanie. Fingers crossed.
A very informative series… awaiting the next instalment
Coming soon!
There need to be blue plaques erected at these venues
Sheffield Home of Football charity is where we need to be directing any contributions for this. Many thanks.
"Promosm" 😌
