Blundell Park
« on: Friday 02 September 16 12:39 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find some information for s work colleague. His ancestors (grandfather I believe) originated from Grimsby/Cleethorpes area.

His name is Blundell and he questions I'd get has any link to the name of the Football Ground.

How did the name Blundell Park cone around, and was it named after anyone (etc road named after someone)?

From The Sidney Sussex Heritage Project:

Blundell Park was named after Peter Blundell, whose money enabled Sidney Sussex College to buy the land way back in 1616.
