Another question before you get tired of me, are there any memory plates etc about this first period of football anywhere in Accrington?
The name of Accrington FC's ground was Thornyholme Road (sometimes called the Cemetery Ground). They shared it with the cricket club and did have a temporary stand which had to be dismantled when cricket matches were being played. As far as I'm aware, there are no commemorative plaques for Accrington FC. Hope this helps your research.
