Aston & Erdington AFL

[Dave Ackrill]

Hi,

It's been a while since I logged onto this forum, but I have a question about the Aston & Erdington AFL. I did a search on this site and a web wide search but couldn't come up with any information on the Aston & Erdington AFL.

My grandfather wore a pendant on his watch chain as shown in the attached photograph. Appologies for the poor quality, I'll try to get a better one later. So, I guess that he must have been involved with the league at some point in his life. I don't think he played, but maybe he was a supporter?

His name was Henry (Harry) Rowley and, when I was born, he and my grandmother lived in Hall Green but I think they may have lived in other areas as I know that my Mum lived in Sparkhill when she was a young girl in the 1930s.Does anyone have any information about this league please?

Thanks - Dave Ackrill

The first mention of Aston & Erdington AFL that I can find is January 1952, but it may have been in existence as Aston & Erdington Football Leage for at least 30 years before 1950.
In 1958 the Secretary was at 225 Victoria Road Aston.

1957 and 1960 erolls list Charles Tabberner and family at 225 Victoria Road

The Aston & Erdington AFL's first season was 1917-18. It ran until 1927-28 and after a 2 season break began again in 1930-31. As far as I'm aware it folded in the late 1950's.
