Not so much a query about the programme as the club involved. Never heard of them, to be honest. Is Harton a town? Area? The adverts include both North Shields and South Shields - but none for Harton.

Interesting line-up they were playing against with Hughie Gallacher up front and Cresswell senior and junior at full back.
Any info appreciated - especially about the "stadium", as I need to suss out whether to file this under "H" for Harton CW or "M" for Miscellaneous...

It's an area of South Shields.

This is a very rare and probably very expensive programme. A great find...

Thanks for the info, everyone - found their new ground on Google Maps street view. Looks like they share it with a cricket team a-la-Northampton Town
