Northern Club (sports club)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Northern Club, located in Crosby on north Merseyside, was founded in 1859, originally as a cricket club also playing bowls. It moved to its present site, in the picturesque Moor Park area of Crosby, seven miles to the north of Liverpool, in 1907. By 1961, the cricket club shared its grounds with hockey, squash and crown green bowls, and in this year the four sports merged to form the Northern Club.

The club is amongst the top multi-sport clubs in the North West of England, with around 900 members. It has three cricket pitches, a hockey astroturf pitch, five squash courts and two bowling greens, all on the Moor Park site.
