Its outline now partly lies under a blocks of flats and the old bowling green on Duckmoor Road. By around the middle of WWI the current ground was located where it is today, and had some earthwork/grandstands. At the same time, there were a few houses built close to the Ashton Road entrance, almost opposite the old Wedlock pub, including the old 'shed' that used to be at the back of the Open End; the rest of the area around the Gate was still to be properly developed.

Decent beer and prices in the cricket club pavilion too. I would rather pay the £5 than face the hassle of parking in Hotwells for free which I used to do. Far more convenient. I usually get there about 90mins before kick off, never an issue finding a space, it's a big site! there are 2 parking sites, the one nearest rounham hill is easier to get out of as there are 2 exits.
