Yes and as far as I can see I have been through most of the above, apart from a decent collection of Thames Ironworks Gazzettes, does anyone have any ideas where I could find these?Ironworx wrote: Iron in the Blood by John Powles lists as sources....
Ironworks Gazette 1895-1905
Borough of West Ham and Stratford Express 1887-1894 (That's before TIWFC though)
Borough of West Ham, East Ham, and Stratford Express 1894-1901
West Ham Herald and South Essex Gazette 1892-1899
County Borough of West Ham Guardian 1898-1902
I'm going to try to get over there to put some time in myself, I'll get stuck into the Ironworks Gazette.
My fault, I only half read Pops post as it was of use to you rather than me. I saw it started with Brian Belton and I assumed it was the bibliography from his book.mushy wrote:

Online Records now changed to a home gameGreen Hornet wrote:It may look that way to you but all the records indicate that the footage is from the 6th Round of the FA Cup tie March 1st, 1930 at Highbury.

West Ham were the away team. They didn't score any goals. The team filmed scoring is in white shirts.
Excellent, another piece of the historical record corrected by this thread....Pop Robson wrote:

Too add to GH's discoveryGreen Hornet wrote: One final item. This is a link to a commemorative Trading Card set on Ebay. It does appear to feature the cover of a West Ham programme and at the very bottom it looks to me like it refers to the next home game which is also Arsenal:: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Arsenal-FA-Cup-Wi ... 4001r30969" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The castle on the programme is 'Boleyn Castle' (Green St House) knocked down in 1955!! A real shame as it would be fanstastic to see that as you walk down Green St to the groundIronworx wrote:That's brilliant Pop![]()
Any thoughts on the castle ? Is that the stylised castle of the times or is it a depiction of the Boleyn Castle ? The Boleyn Castle wasn't a castle in the way that immediately springs to mind, it was more of a fortified house.
One day I'd like to get to the bottom of whether the castle derives from the Castle shipping line or the Boleyn Castle.
