Lost sports grounds

[fleetwood]

I remember Firth Browns Atlas Norfolk with large clubhouse and grounds visible and I imagine accessible from Shirecliffe Rd, I also recall English Steels similar facilities being to the right-hand side off Bellhouse Rd as you neared the top and before Concorde Park.

Don't know what's on there now, but back in the 40's we'd walk to the Forum on Saturday mornings via the back of Firshill School towards Roe Woods, and the sloping ground going down to the woods proper, was the Atlas and Norfolk football pitch.

 

That would be Sheffield United's Academy now Texas.

Granville College ground on Ecclesall Road South has been left to grow wild.

Former YMCA ground at the top of Crimicar Lane has now been restored for cricket use. Have any other grounds been restored?

Are any of the cricket pitches in Graves Park whose boundaries used to intersect still in use?

I used to play a lot of Sunday league football at Graves Park, I used to go up on a Saturday to watch a game, dozens of games to choose from, sadly as lot of the pitches are no longer used.
