Highfield (stadium)

Highfield is a former home ground of The Wednesday Football Club and was located on London Road near to the centre of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England.

The ground was a field that was part of a recreational ground that was at the time called the Orphanage, having just changed their name from the Cremorne Gardens (named after the gardens in London and after which The Cremorne public house was named).

Charles Blondin, the high wire artist, was reported to have performed in the gardens.

The site is now thought to be occupied by the Highfield library.
