    Not letting you have that ; - )

    Lady Irving ran there (in the hurdles, not the hoolie sense) and refers to it by it's address.

    Bonus point if you can say who the ground is named after without using Google.

    It's named after Edna Hammarskjod, who was a famous Tea Lady in the area.

    I'll take a punt on No. 6 ... Gavin Peacock?

    By the way, as a North East Hertfordshire resident, the vicinity of Harlow is well-known to me. OK, it is in Essex, but it's just across the border. The ground was known as the Harlow Sportscentre and it is situated on Hammarskjold Road ... named after Dag Hammarskjold, former UN Secretary as I recall.

    Harlow FC now play a fair way from the old ground. They built a dry ski slope near the old one, and houses now.

    For those of you who have never visited Harlow .... don't.

    Gavin Peacock is correct as is the reason for the name of Harlow's old ground.

    My nephew and nieces, who grew up in Bishops Stortford use "a bit Harlow" as an insult ; - )
