North Road Ground

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

North Road Ground is a cricket ground in Glossop, England which Derbyshire used between 1899 and 1910, during which period the ground hosted one or two County Championship matches each year. Derbyshire have clearly not totally forgotten about the ground, as they have played a Second XI Trophy match at the ground annually since 1997, the 2008 fixture taking place on 4th July against Lancashire.

The ground hosted fifteen first-class matches.
