Hyde Park (cricket ground)

Hyde Park was a cricket ground in Sheffield on a site now used for high-rise community flats.

It opened in 1826 and was adopted by Sheffield Cricket Club as a home venue, replacing Darnall New Ground, from 1830 until 1854.

[4] The last match at Hyde Park by a Yorkshire team was on 6 and 7 June 1853 against the United England Eleven (UEE).

[5] The last known match of any kind on the ground was on 4 and 5 June 1866 when a team of 18 Nottingham and Sheffield Colts combined to play against the All-England Eleven (AEE).

Situated on high ground, as Grace said, it was known for "its splendid views and rapid draining and drying".
