Bradford Park Avenue: Cricket in Bradford
A magnificent backdrop to cricket on the site of Bradford Park Avenue's old ground where Yorkshire CCC played matches from 1881 to 1996. When I visited to take photos of the crumbling remnants of the football ground an 8-a-side cricket competition was taking place, with teams from the quaid e azam Sunday cricket league competing in the Yorkshire Cricket Foundation 8 a side Cup. This was won by Heaton Park CC.
The Al-Jamia Suffa-Tul-Islam Grand Mosque (Bradford Grand Mosque) completes the picture!
The building work beyond the boundary, and in front of the mosque, is part of an expensive development by Yorkshire CCC Academy. The plan is to redevelop the cricket ground and provide excellent coaching and training facilities.
