NEHL - The cricket ground at Sacriston has been open since at least the 1900s when the ground was first enclosed. It is likely the ground was not utilised for sport in the 1890s as the boundary of the field was not established and may still have been farmland or common land. However, by the 1910s similar boundaries were created to the current pitch, and by the 40s the area is formally illustrated as a cricket ground on Ordnance Survey maps.

In the 1910s the ground appears to have a small pavilion and an entrance from Front Street. This was expanded by the 1940s with a longer narrow pavilion on the south east corner of the ground.

Cricket is still played here, with Sacriston Colliery, founded in 1874, playing their home matches here.
