I've been trying to recollect the formation of the Lancashire Combination, before the heady days of the Amateur Cup and entry into the Cheshire League-
Maybe GH and JBJ can help out with any teams I have missed, and the names of their grounds. I reckon there would be 24 teams in the League in those days:
Accrington Stanley................Peel Park
Ashton United
Bacup Borough
Barrow Reserves...................Holker Park
Burscough.........................Victoria Park
Chorley...........................Victory Park
Clitheroe.........................Shawbridge
Darwen
Droylsden
Earlstown
Fleetwood.........................Highbury
Lancaster City....................Giant Axe
Marine............................College road
Nelson (adjoining cricket ground)
Netherfield
New Brighton......................Tower Ground
Prescot Cables....................Hope Street
Rossendale United.................Dark Lane ??
SKELMERSDALE UNITED...............White Moss Park
South Liverpool
Southport Reserves................Haigh Avenue
St Helens Town....................Houghton Road
Wigan Athletic....................Springfield Park
Wigan Rovers

Too many? Some out, some in? Let me know......
