NEHL - A football ground stood here in the 1930s, though it has been difficult to assess which team/teams played here. The ground is visible on aerial imagery from the 1930s, with pitch markings and a small clubhouse. It may have been the ground of nearby industries, like the Delta Iron Works or the Hannington Works at Low Swalwell.
Ordnance Survey, 1939

Another angle of the ground with a small white clubhouse on its northern end. It appears the land was quite flood prone. An Aldi and The Range now stands here.
