Thrum Hall (Cricket Ground)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thrum Hall Cricket Ground, on Hanson Lane in Halifax, hosted four first class cricket matches between 1888 and 1897 [1]. Yorkshire CCC played three County Championship matches there, in July 1888 against Gloucestershire CCC, August 1889 against Middlesex CCC and Kent CCC in June 1897 while they played Essex CCC in a non championship fixture in July 1894. Kent were bowled out for 74 in their match, with Bobby Peel taking 8 for 93. Peel also bowled Gloucestershire out for just 89, taking 7 for 39, in a low scoring match which Yorkshire won by 3 wickets.
The ground has long since been covered by urban development and the site is currently occupied by a supermarket [2]
