No connection to Athletic that I can see but the museum (plug, plug) were sent this on twitter.
Taken from the 1894/5 Woolwich & District League handbook.
Some interesting opponents and dressing rooms.

Haven't posted here for a while, but that's a great find, Henry.
The Rose of Denmark would have been the previous incarnation of the present-day pub (which was built around 1960 as I recall). It would suggest that the Victoria Field is the area East of Victoria Way and between the Woolwich Road (Lower Road in 1890's ?) and Troughton Road. I know that the houses at the bottom of Victoria Way (No's 1 to 11) were built around 1900 or just before.

Why were Tottenham Hotspurs playing in the Woolwich and District League? - and they complained about Arsenal moving to muscle in on their part of London.2

Erith crop up a lot in those days. They played in Arsenal's first ever home game in 1886. Up The Dockers!0
