Los Cerritos Ranch House known as Rancho Los Cerritos or Casa de los Cerritos, in Long Beach, was "the largest and most impressive adobe residence erected in southern California during the Mexican period". Los Cerritos means "the little hills" in English, it was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1970. The structure, a Monterey Colonial adobe, was built in 1844 by merchant Jonathan Temple, a Yankee pioneer who became a Mexican citizen; the house was once the headquarters for a 27,000-acre ranch. The land was part of the 167,000-acre Rancho Los Nietos land grant to Manuel Nieto, divided into six parcels, one of, Rancho los Cerritos. In 1843, Temple purchased the rancho and built the adobe house in 1844 as headquarters for his cattle operations. In 1866, Temple sold the rancho to Flint, Bixby & Company which converted the ranch from cattle to sheep. Jotham Bixby, the brother of one of the company's founders and resided at the ranch from 1866-1871. Jotham Bixby, known as the "father of Long Beach" purchased the property for himself and raised seven children at the adobe.

One of Jotham's children, raised at the ranch house was Fanny Bixby Spencer, who became known as a philanthropist and pacifist. Beginning in the late 1870s, Bixby began leasing or selling portions of the ranch, which became the cities of Downey and Lakewood. Between the 1870s and 1920, the adobe fell into disrepair. In 1929, Llewellyn Bixby purchased the property, made extensive renovations to the house, including plaster cement coating, a new red-tiled roof, plumbing, fireplaces, a sun porch, new floors and much of the landscaping. Llewellyn Bixby died in 1942, the family sold the house to the City of Long Beach in 1955; the City turned the house into a museum dedicated to educating the public about California's rancho period. Rancho Los Cerritos Historic Site was converted into, remains, a public museum operated by the Rancho Los Cerritos Foundation in partnership with the City of Long Beach, it is open for tours and events on Wednesdays through Sundays. The house is furnished in a Victorian fashion as it would have been when Jotham Bixby raised his family there in the 1870s.

There is a visitor center with exhibits about the site's history from Native American times to the present. A formal Italian garden includes cypress trees planted by Temple; the center features a 3,000-volume California history research library and a gift shop. The Friends of Rancho Los Cerritos support its activities; the museum was closed for 17 months from 2001-2002 to allow for seismic retrofitting, removal of lead paint and asbestos insulation, brickwork repairs and modifications to improve accessibility for the disabled.

John Nicholson was club secretary for Sheffield United for over 30 years. During this period the club did not employ a'manager' but Nicholson undertook many of the duties associated with a modern-day football manager. Born in Attercliffe in Sheffield, Nicholson was a lawyer's clerk, active with the Sheffield and Hallamshire FA as well as secretary of Attercliffe F. C. In 1899 he was offered the post of club secretary at Sheffield United when the club became a Limited Company and remained in the role until his death. Although the team was coached by a trainer and selected by a committee, Nicholson ran the club on a day-to-day basis, dealing with transfers and other finances, liaising with the Football Association and looking after the players' general affairs. Regarded as one of the most respected men in football at the time he had a vast number of contacts throughout the game and was an expert in the rules and regulations of the sport. Nicholson presided over the most successful period in The Blades history, winning four FA Cups in 1899, 1902, 1915 and 1925 and maintaining United as a dominant league force, winning the old 1st division Championship in 1898.

Despite never holding the post of manager at The Blades, he was offered just such a position at Manchester City in 1926 but turned it down, preferring to remain in his home town. Nicholson died in 1932 after being knocked down by a lorry whilst crossing the road outside Sheffield Midland Station on his way to join the team, who were heading off to Birmingham to play a match against Aston Villa.
