Derelict pub is part of football history
It was in 1888 that Clapton FC began playing at the ground which took its name from this now derelict pub - the Old Spotted Dog. Over 80 years ago, Clapton were one of England's most powerful amateur sides winning the prestigious F.A. Amateur Cup five times. The pub in Upton Lane, near Forest Gate station, has been boarded up for several years.
