HER Description

NEHL - A football ground opened between 1915 and the 1930s on Fourth Street at Quaking Houses. It is illustrated on the Ordnance Survey surveyed in 1938, and had a pavilion on the top left corner of the ground. It appears to have been an enclosed and maintained patch of land within unclaimed scrubland.

The ground may have been used by a number of grounds located at South Moor. South Moor Corinthians, South Moor Tradesmen and South Moor Palter were all playing in the 1930s, so was likely one of these teams.

The Google Maps satellite imagery of the 1940s shows the site no longer in use, likely due to the war. A faint enclosed area can be seen, though it is likely not to have been used for some years.
