NEHL - A football ground was bedded in adjacent to the railway line at Oxbridge around the 1930s. Upon opening, it simply featured two sheds on its north end, though by the end of WWII the ground featured multiple tennis courts and a bowling green as seen on aerial imagery in 1949.

The land was locally known ash Ashmore's, as it was the sports club for the local engineering firm "Ashmore Benson & Pease". It was used by their teams, employees and families and were likely the original owners of the facility.

It had a modern sports pavilion with changing rooms, a concert room with dancefloor as well as football, bowls and cricket pitches.

It was later sold to the local authorities and from there under council ownership, though the concert room was retained and remained to be called "Ashmore's". It is now known as Grangefield Youth and Community Centre.

Aerial photography from 1949 also indicates the land was used for cricket and potentially netball.
