General notes

Burnley Cricket Club moved to their present home, next to Turf Moor, in 1843. The first permanent grandstand was erected there in 1886. During the 1930's the ground had a number of improvements made to it, including the construction of concrete terracing. In 1970 the old pavilion was replaced by a new building, which cost £40,000.

This photograph shows the original pavilion. In the background one can make out the coal wagon making its way up from the Bee Hole colliery.
