The site was the former Singers factory was based and where club founder Willie Stanley came up with the idea for a works football team.
The research into this and the coming up with the date of August 13th 1883 of when the club was actually founded is due to the hard work of one of the club's historians Lionel Bird.
Having printed off an article from Coventry city centre library, it was only after re-reading the article that Lionel, currently working on a book on Willie Stanley, discovered the date that the club was founded.
The club were officially formed at the Lord Aylesford Inn which is now the Aylesford Care Centre and lost their first ever game in 1883, 9-0 to a Coventry Association made up of cricketers and will celebrate their 125th anniversary next Wednesday with a League Cup tie against Aldershot Town.
