UPDATE: Let's solve this mystery! First off, a huge congratulations to our local history detectives!
This is indeed the Broadwater sports ground back in the mid-1920s.
We threw a little curveball into this challenge to see just how sharp your eyes are... and you didn't disappoint! For those who noticed that something looked a bit "off" with the barge pool off Lower Kings Road, you were entirely correct, it wasn't actually there! π
While bringing this faded old photo back to life, a little "creative section" was added to test our history buffs, and we wanted to see who would spot it.

ORYGINAL POST: Guess the Berko ground!
π With the Berkhamsted Sporting Excellence Awards coming up on Thursday 4th June, we are celebrating both our future stars and our historic roots.
Starting today, we're doing a special βThen & Nowβ Guessing Game. Weβll be posting archive photos of local sports grounds from 100 years ago.
β’ Can you guess where they are?
β’ Can you name the club that started at this ground, and who plays here now?
Drop a comment if youβre ready to test your local knowledge, and tag a teammate who thinks they know Berko history better than anyone else! π
Answers will be revealed shortly.... letβs see how we know our pitches in town!
