Queens Road Ground

[s61blue]

Wonder if anyone could help me, I am trying to find exactly where on Queens Road our ground was when we played there in the 1880's.

Recently moved to Monsall, just off Queens Road and wondered if that is the same location of the Queens Road ground where we played.

Although Manchester City were formed as a Limited Company in 1887 wnen their predecessors, Ardwick, went bankrupt, some historians trace City"s origins as far back as 1880. It was then that that St Mark"s Church, West Gorton, decided to add a football section to their cricket club.

The church team was called West Gorton and played first on a pitch in Clowes Street, then at the Kirkmanshulme Cricket Club, Redgate Lane, and then at Clemington Park (nicknamed "Donkey Common" and now called Gorton Park).

Spot on with the location of the ground but a few other errors i'm afraid. Ardwick was formed in 1887 and MCFC in 1894.
