[edit] History
The club was formed in 1920 by a group of natives of Newcastle-upon-Tyne working in the area, who adopted the black and white stripes of Newcastle United as their colours. They played in the London League during the 1920s but dropped down to more local leagues after World War II.
In 1970 the team stepped up to the Middlesex County League but by the early 80s were playing in the London Spartan League. In 1983-84 they were Senior Division champions and were promoted to the Premier Division. When the league amalgamated with the South Midlands League in 1998, Hanwell were placed in the Premier Division South but after the league's initial transitional season, a reorganisation saw them moved down into the Senior Division. They immediately won promotion back to the Premier Division where they remained until reorganisation of the non-league system in 2006 saw them placed in the new Southern League Division One South and West.
[edit] Ground
Hanwell moved to the Reynolds Field ground in 1981 after over twenty years playing at the Ealing Central Sports Ground. Floodlights were installed in 1989 and inaugurated with a match against Tottenham Hotspur, since when a stand and disabled facilities have been added.
