NEHL - This cricket ground was opened by at least the 1880s, when a Tudhoe Cricket Club had officially formed. However, they are likely to have been born from Tudhoe Iron Works CC who'd existed as early as the 1850s and likely played closer to the works or at the Low Spennymoor Ground (sp03). It is likely this ground was used from their inception as Tudhoe CC given their use of the Black Horse for meetings and AGMs, which was adjacent to the field and is still operating. The team in the 1880s were flying, with the area having a "galaxy of talent" with ripping bowling and real good fielding (all words from "Sirius", a correspondent from the Northern Weekly Gazette in 1883). The club mainly played other teams in the region, such as Bishop Auckland, Consett and Sedgefield.

The ground is first illustrated on 1890s maps, with a small pavilion in the north east corner and a shed in the top left. The pavilion was likely that built in 1895, when a smoking concert was held in there for its grand opening. It was noted as an excellent ground by the Durham County Advertiser in 1895.

During WWII, a German V1 flying bomb fell on the cricket ground on Christmas Eve, 1944. There's a great piece on this event here: https://spennymoortoday.wordpress.com/2013/05/26/153/

The ground is still used by Tudhoe Cricket Club. The pavilion suffered from an arson attack in 2018.
