SK3287 : The Infield and Wickets, Crookes

3 km from Stannington, Sheffield, Great Britain

The Infield and Wickets, Crookes
The Infield and Wickets, Crookes
The infield of this famous cricket ground was the yard. The outfield was anywhere out the yard, especially over the rooftops. The boundary was the tram tracks. The wickets, now faded away, were chalk marks once drawn on the brickwork to the right of this former garage. The match was declared over at teatime, dark or when a tram cut the ball in half. If the latter happened early on, the game reverted to hide & seek, marbles, or tig.
