Part of this development was called Anglichanka (Russian: Англичанка, meaning Englishwoman). This became the home of English technicians and managers who were brought to the area by the Morozovs. The three Charnock brothers, – James Charnock, Clement Charnock and Harry Charnock were amongst this community and their family is regarded as pioneers of Russian football. This English community started to play football amongst themselves, but soon attracted the interest of the local Russian people, and then with the support of Ivan Vikulovich Morozov KS Orekhovo was established in 1910. Little remains of this settlement, located at Ulitsa Stepana Terent'yeva, Orekhovo-Zuyevo. The houses were burnt down and the only remnant is the bowl of a fountain in a personal plot which belonged to the Charnoks.
