Now owned by Nottingham Girls' High School, this huge playing field was once Players Rec, home of Players Athletic cricket, football and other sports teams. In the days of benevolent employers, all the big Nottingham firms had fine sports grounds, and John Player & Sons was no exception. (The Raleigh ground was at Wollaton and Boots at Lady Bay.)
