HistoryThe club was established as Leamington Association Football Club in 1891, playing their first match against Queen's College, Birmingham in September that year and winning 1–0. The following year a rename resulted in them becoming Leamington Town. In 1896–87 they joined the Coventry & District League, which they played in for two seasons before transferring to the Birmingham Junior League in 1898. They were Junior League runners-up in 1899–1900 and won the Birmingham Charity Cup in 1903–04 and 1904–05.

They were league champions in 1925–26 and runners-up in 198–29. However, after finishing second-from-bottom of the league in 1936–37 the club folded due to financial problems. In the same year that Leamington Town folded, the Lockheed brake manufacturing company formed a works team under the name Lockheed Borg & Beck, with the club gaining the nickname "the Brakes" as a result. They initially played in local leagues, joining the Coventry & District League in 1944. In 1947 the club was renamed Lockheed Leamington when they bought the former club's Windmill Ground and joined the Central Amateur League. After two third-place finishes the club joined the Birmingham Combination in 1949. In 1954 the league was disbanded and like most other clubs, Leamington joined the Birmingham & District League. Placed in the Southern Division for a transitional season, they were the division's runners-up, earning a place in Division One the following season. In 1960 the league was reduced to a single division and the club were champions in 1961–62.
