Bramall Lane, Sheffield, 1911: A Historic Cricket Ground Transformed into a Testing Ground This evocative photograph captures Bramall Lane cricket ground in Sheffield during a three-day Test Trial match held between 1st and 3rd June 1911. The scene features G.L. Jessops XI taking on P.F. Warners XI, with the former ultimately emerging victorious. Bramall Lane holds a rich history, serving as both a cricket and football ground for many years, and was shared by Yorkshire County Cricket Club and Sheffield United F.C. The image showcases the picturesque setting of the cricket ground, with the pavilion standing proudly in the background, surrounded by lush greenery and a sea of spectators. The Test Trial match represents a significant moment in the history of Bramall Lane, as it was one of the last cricket matches to be played at the venue before Yorkshire County Cricket Club moved on. The ground's cricket square was eventually enclosed by a new stand in the late 1970s, making way for Sheffield United's football pitch to take center stage. Bramall Lane remains an iconic venue to this day, serving as the home of Sheffield United F.C. and holding a special place in the hearts of cricket and football fans alike. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the charm and history of Bramall Lane during a bygone era of cricket.
