History

Established in 1855, the club opened Linthorpe Road as a purpose built cricket ground for the club in 1875.[2] Middlesbrough Football Club (MFC) was founded by members of the club a year after the move.[3] [4] MFC began playing at the grounds in 1880 as joint tenants.[5]

It was a founding member of the North Yorkshire and South Durham Cricket League (NYSD) in 1893. The club left Linthorpe Road the same year, leaving only MFC as its tenants.[6]

After Linthorpe Road, the club moved to Breckon Hill Road (in the Grove Hill area of town),[7] and further moved to Acklam Park in 1932. The Club became Acklam Park’s co-owners, with Middlesbrough RUFC as pre-existing tenets.[8]
