This is a former stone mine, but the strip of concrete was used for cricket practice by the boys of Rastrick Grammar School, Ogden Lane. Nets were erected round the strip for batting and bowling practice, the entire field being used for sports by the school at that time until the school's amalgamation with Reinswood School to form Rastrick High in approx. 1983. Most of the mined area has been turned into the playing fields in the middle distance, and Toothill is at the top of the far hillside.
