Any ideas as to the ground?

The photo must be pre June 1918 and the player holding the ball wears what looks to be a London FA badge, although frustratingly there is biro damage alongside.

The board above the door says REFRESHMENTS

It's pre June 1918 because the postage rates are ½d inland and 1d foreign, and as it's a divided back card it will have been printed from late 1902 onwards, although that doesn't stop the photo being a bit earlier.

Thanks

Kevin

Can't help on ground I'm afraid, but is the keeper (presume he's the one in the cap) wearing white or is it a different colour to the others? That rule came in in 1909 so if it's different it's after 1909. Until then wearing a cap was just about the only different feature.

Initially they had to be scarlet or royal blue, but in 1912 the rule was changed again to allow green shirts which became the norm soon after.
