FredJCarss Posted 20 September , 2004 Author Share Posted 20 September , 2004 Clive I have no idea why it is there. It does not look like it was relocated to the cemetery. Stephen Who or what were C&E Morton and why would scotsmen from the company found Millwall F.C. Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Nulty Posted 21 September , 2004 Share Posted 21 September , 2004 Fred C&E Morton were manufacturers of "preserved provision", and I believe ther Isle of Dogs site was a Jam Factory! The jocks will have created a football team because that's what they were doing all over the world back in the 1880's! SN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
