VillaJ100 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Historians of Villa, Me and my dad were having a discussion about the old villa ground, before they moved to Villa Park in about 1900. We know it was located in Perry Barr on Wellington Rd, but does anyone know where it actually was? Is One Stop built on top of it? And is there any evidence today of the ground at the location like a plaque etc? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIVillan Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I thought it was the Greyhound Track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Wellington Road football ground is now houses I believe. The site was in between Leslie Road and Wilmore Road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansardtony Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 The site was the old greyhound stadium which was demolished to make way for the shopping centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaJ100 Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) Thanks guys! Should be a little plaque there though, being as we probably had most of our success there! Edited January 14, 2016 by VillaJ100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
