HER Description

NEHL - Pallion was home to two football grounds in the 1940s in a newly developed area east of the Saturn Works and just north of St Luke's Road. This ground was the westernmost iteration, and features on the 1940s Ordnance Survey map with a clubhouse in the southern corner against St. Luke's Road.

The ground was still extant through the 1950s, and there were a number of clubs who played in Pallion at the time. Pallion Marine were one such, and may have played here.

The ground can be seen on an aerial photograph from 1956. The ground is vacant however it is difficult to tell if it is still in use by this year.
