The Royal Oak – Hartshill

Here are some photo’s kindly given to me by Brett Elliott of his two children, now grown up and probably cringing at the photo’s their dad has let me post onto the website, of the Chapel End Nursing Cup.

This was originally kept at the Oak but now resides in the Major’s Parlour down in the Council Houses in Nuneaton. An attempt to reserect the cup competition was attempted by James and Ralph Thomason last year, but to no avail.

If anyone has any more photo’s of the Chapel End Nursing cup or stories, team photo’s etc then please let me know and I will post onto the website, surely one of the most prestigious cups in the area.

If you have any old photo’s of Royal Oak Football Teams from years ago then please drop them in, I’ll scan them, return your pics and I’ll add them to this section.

A few familiar faces (Woody, Shane, Keith, Graham, Beefy, Barty Jnr., Ivor etc etc) on these photo’s, if not a little younger !
