Can anyone help the museum by naming the players.

Also where were the photos taken?

    Benny Fenton 2nd right in the bottom picture, possibly Jack Shreeve on the right of him.

    This is before my era, but I'll offer Charlie Vaughan in the centre of Pic A.  It would date things around 1950-ish.

    1950 Vaughan Charlton Sportfoto

    And definitely Benny Fenton and Jack Shreeve as Big William says in Pic B.  And Vaughan again (if it's him) second from the left.

    In terms of venue, it looks a bit too rural for Stone's ... so maybe Charlton Park?

    Turned this up on google lens, Charlie Vaughan in the middle of the top one apparently.

    I’m guessing it probably would have had to be within walking distance of the ground in those days. A bit like those of us that went to Sherington Junior Boys School up the road from The Valley and had to walk to the nearest bit of local grass to play football or Cricket when we had games

    For pic A I think it is

    ?,  O'Linn, Vaughan, ?, Duffy

    For pic B

    ?, Vaughan, ? Fenton, Shreeve.

    Charlton Park is a good shout.

    I thank you.

    Some great footwear in Pic B.  Take that, Adidas.

    The kit looks like it was donated by a rag and bone man, post war austerity I guess.

    Fella on the right looks like he might have invented crocs from an old pair of loafers 😉

    Vaughan is most likely wearing a shirt from the 1946 Cup Final which like all other kit was then just used for training before being dumped.

    Definitely  Vaughan in both pictures wearing the badge. Maybe Chris Duffy on the right in pic A.
    I used to watch the team in pre season training at Harvey's Sports ground around  49/50. They then moved pre season etc. to Stones.

    Harvey's Sports ground was at Hervey Road off Shooters Hill Road. Eddie Firmani played cricket for them.

    I did wonder about Harvey's Sports Ground (confusingly in Hervey Road, Kidbrooke).

    I think you've got it.

    Those footballs with the laces but, more to the point, that ability to retain water really were a recipe for headaches and sadly worse.

    The lad far left in the white shirt with casual footwear is Charlie Kirk.

    I think the one with the taped up boots is Roland Duchatelet

    Think this player has escaped from a subbuteo box.
