| Those of you who recall a final posting from the Yorkshire boundary walk may remember a visit to the grave of Sir Stanley Jackson a mile or so from the Humber and how he is buried an admittedly long six hit from the Welton Cricket Club. I was surfing the net and came across the following interesting article. All very splendid. The address of Welton & Brough CC’s ground has undergone a name change to reflect links with one of Yorkshire and England’s cricketing pioneers. The ground is now in Stanley Jackson Way and not Common Lane - but the postcode remains HU15. It’s not a change in location but the Welton & Brough club has managed to get the first part of Common Lane changed and named after past Test captain F S Jackson, who is buried next to his wife, Lady Julia Jackson, in the cemetery just across from the ground. His son-in-law donated the land in trust to the cricket club in 1956. | |

| Just found more on the Welton and Brough CC website. (Jackson married a daughter of the Colonel mentioned below, a further daughter married the occasional Yorkshire player, 'Jack' Wilson, who was a 1st World War pilot and rode the Grand National winner in 1925.) It reads The ground was laid out in its present location in 1893 by Colonel Harrison-Broadley, a member of a long established local family. The ground was donated to the Welton Cricket Club in 1956 by dependents of the late Colonel J B Harrison-Broadley, thereby fulfilling the family's known wishes and now is vested in Trustees nominated by the Club's General Committee. | |
