Is Everton in it?

Think we get mentioned once in passing if I remember correctly. It pretty much exclusively focusses on Darwen, Old Etonians and a mashup of Blackburn Rovers and Blackburn Olympic

Yep. The kit manufacturer had set up a deal with Everton.

Trying to put Everton history in line with that series. Where would we have been playing ? It's after the Stanley Park era, would we have been at Anfield?

Just looked into it. Blackburn Olympic won the FA Cup in 1883 so at that time it looks like we were playing at Priory Road which we only played at for two seasons between our time in Stanley Park and Anfield. .
