At the bottom of Darley Park was the cow patch, on which we played
soccer in the winter. But to one side, near the railing, was a concreted
cricket pad, with nets, where we practiced during the summer. Brian
Skeldon provided these pictures of the cricket pad in course of
creation. He adds: "Apparently the council
allowed the land to be used, and the School provided the 'man' power.
Not yet sure where the funds came from for the concrete etc., but I'm
still on the case."
