SPOTLIGHT ON
HIMLEY CRICKET CLUB

Himley Cricket Club was formed in 1883 with cricket being played at the Stourbridge Road ground ever since.
The original pavilion donated by Francis Grazebrook, a local entrepreneur back in 1890, was then built on the Club's present site.
Most old photographs indicate that the early teams were made up of local men from Himley and the outlying areas of Wombourne, Swindon, Wall Heath, Kingswinford and Gornal. A local fixture list was developed in the 1920's and 1930's, Second World War decimated club membership, and the ground was loaned to the RAF and the Army during the Second World War.
