West Bromwich Albion moved to Stoney Lane in 1885 from their Four Acres ground in 1885.

The ground's record league attendance of 19,700 was set on 5 January 1895 when West Brom lost 5–4 to Preston North End,[1] whilst the overall record attendance of 20,977 was set in March 1895, for Albion's 1–0 victory over local rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup third round.

The final league match was played at Stoney Lane on 16 April 1900, with West Brom beating Nottingham Forest 8–0.

Stoney Lane remained in use as a training ground for some time, and was later known as the Fairground because of its use by visiting fairs.

[1] The area which was covered by the pitch is now a road named Albion Field Drive.
