NEHL - This cricket ground at Kimblesworth was first bedded in in the 1890s with the founding of Kimblesworth CC. Contemporary newspaper articles describe matches as early as 1895 between clubs such as Hermitage CC and Sacriston Colliery. Though the ground isn't labelled on the 1890s maps, the ground is laid out and a pavilion constructed, which is the same building as the pavilion labelled on the 1920 Ordnance Survey Map.

Two clubs played here - Kimblesworth CC from its outset, and Kimblesworth Colliery CC from around the 1920s. A piece from the Chester le Street Chronicle of Feb 1923 advertises for tender transport from the ground to places like Allendale, Burnhope, Consett, Shotley Bridge and Tanfield.

The ground is still used by Kimblesworth CC.
