The worst cricket pitch in the world
OK, the Railway Sports Club closed several years ago, leaving their pitch to grow wild. The even taller weeds to the left were the actual wicket. The gasholder in Tayfen Road and the St. John's Church spire (not surprisingly located in St. John's Street) are both Bury landmarks.

The foreground shows a little of the Tayfen estate. The stream from the Tayfen lake passes round the right of the pitch before disappearing under Tayfen Road - and never reappearing.
