NEHL - Consett's first football ground was located on the vicarage field, just south west of the vicarage itself, from 1899. 4 years earlier when the 25 inch Ordnance Survey was illustrated, it was open moorland and even by the 1910s football was still played on an open field here. However, around the 1930s a small stand was constructed with an army hut used for changing rooms.

As the steelworks expanded, unfortunately Consett AFC had to move their home ground to Eden Colliery Welfare's Leadgate ground making Ashdale Road their home. Belle Vue Park was used until 2013 when they then moved to Delves Lane.
