Chesham Town F.C.
English football club From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chesham Town Football Club were an English football club from Chesham, Buckinghamshire.
Chesham and Waterside FC was founded by Rev Reade, curate of Christ Church, Chesham in 1879. The first game was against Amersham in October 1879. In 1894 they became founder members of the Southern League. They were renamed Chesham Town in 1899 and continued to play in the Southern League until 1904, when they finished 11th and bottom of the table. They re-entered the Southern League in 1908 but left four years later to become founder members of the Athenian League. They left that league at the end of the 1913–14 season to join the Great Western Suburban League.[1]
In 1917 the club merged with Chesham Generals to form Chesham United, who are still in existence.
The club wore jerseys that were described as black and yellow.[2]
