kirkhamgate cricket club

Again, as with Overthorpe, little sign of there being a ground here, or of the club even existing.
Even the road has been blocked off.

Another legendary Dewsbury & District ground.
If you fielded in front of the circled farm, you used to dread the ball going past you.

In the yard were tubs of bones etc & the smell over the ground was pretty awful.
It was an exposed ground, I remember one of our bowlers wearing a coat under his jumper to try and keep warm.
