Raisby Rangers
HER Description
NEHL - Raisby Rangers played at this isolated ground at Raisby between around 1887 and the 1930s. It's first seen in the middle of a field on the 1890s Ordnance Survey maps, with a small shed and laid out ground. There is no footpath to the ground, so winter days must have been brutal. The ground survives through to the 1920s maps and disappears by the 1940s.
Contemporary newspaper articles suggest it was called the "Garmondsway ground", utilised by Rainsby Rangers who played other County Durham villages and towns like Bishop Middleham and Station Town.
