Anchor Ground

When Darwen finished bottom of the Football League in 1899 and decided to reform, they lost the use of their Barley Bank home. After looking at various sites around the town, the committee eventually decided on The Anchor Ground, which formerly had been open pasture attached to The Anchor Farm. Much of the infrastructure for the new ground was brought from Barley Bank including the main grandstand, and over the following two or three seasons was made more and more into a leading football venue.
