  Hi all, During lockdown I've been clearing some left over junk from previous owners in my loft. I have found 2 trophies for "P&D F.L Prem Div Winners 1928-1929" and "P&D F.L Prem Div Winners 1929-1930" along with a photo of the team (I assume!). A bit of google searching has lead me to a history of P&D that was on this site (https://torquayfansforum.co.uk/thread/4257/plymouth-district-football-league-history). However can anyone help with the questions to help me verify that the P&D could be the Plymouth & District league? ![]() - Was there a premier division in 1928-1930? - Did the same club win the premier divison in 1928/9 and 1929/30? many thanks for any insight you can give. photos: photos.app.goo.gl/ZFrMAh7LSpuuSUDK9photos.app.goo.gl/kJ2vE7TuRt6dSDgi6![]()  |

Interesting. Pretty sure the Plymouth & District League only had a Premier Division from 1951 - an attempt to head off the newly-formed South Western League at the pass. The same club did win the first division in 1928/29 and 1929/30 - Looe. Not sure where that leaves us. I didn't think there would be many other P&D Leagues around but I was very wrong! Have a look here: www.nonleaguematters.co.uk/forums/index.php?threads/lists-of-leagues.1176/page-5The photo looks more like 50s/60s than 20s/30s to me. Any more clues you can think of? Do you know where the previous owners were from? |

Hi Jon, many thanks for your reply and the link. My initial thought was P&D was Peckham & District league but couldn't find anything. And seeing as the house was build in 1930s I thought plausible that the original owners may have moved from Plymouth & Devon. But the link you've shared confirms a Peckham & District league around the time period I'm looking at and there's another post from someone who may have some information on this league. So my wild goose chase continues! Thanks again for your help.

I was going to suggest asking on the history section of the non-league forum but see you already have. Hope somebody can help!
