The F.C.H.D. has the complete final table information for this league. Tables from 1984 were compiled from contemporary sources, while tables for earlier years were originally taken from the League History Book. A full set of tables (excluding Reserve Division) was most recently published in "Non-League Football Tables 1889-2007" edited by Michael Robinson and published by Soccer Books Limited. A few of the tables still do not balance.
