In 1879, according to C.W. Alcock's Football Annual for that year, Southill Park's ground was in Walthamstow, ten minutes' walk from Hoe Street railway station, its dressing room at the Rose and Crown public house in Leaf Lane. It then had 30 members.

Team Strip

In 1879 the strip was described as "White shirt, blue knickers and red stockings".
