North Road (Stadium)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

North Road was a multi-use stadium in the district of Clayton in East Manchester, England. It was used mostly for football matches and was the original home of Manchester United F.C., then called Newton Heath Football Club. The stadium was the home of the club from 1878 to 1893, when they moved to Bank Street, also in Clayton and only a few hundred yards away from North Road, because of the poor pitch conditions.
