From Wiki

Earlsmead Stadium is a multi-use stadium in Harrow, England. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of Harrow Borough F.C.. The stadium has a capacity of 3,070 people. This includes 350 seats and covering for 1000 people

Earlsmead is on the site of common land on the furthest west side of Roxeth in what was once known as Dobbs Field. In this area in around 850AD it is believed there was a now forgotten battle as commerated in place names such as the Bonefield and the Hundred of Gore (spears).

The surrounding area was built as part of the Metro-land devolpments in the 1930's. This devolpment, the Earlsmead Housing Estate, appears to have given the ground its name.

The streets around the ground are largely named after castles in the British Isles; Windsor, Warwick, Kenilworth, Walton, Arundel, Ivy, Corfe, Balmoral, Ludlow, Tregenna. The only exceptions being Holyrood Avenue, which appears to be named after the Palace, Carlyon Avenue, Somervell Road, Eastcote Lane and Earlsmead itself
