The Cricket Club was formed in 1926 and the Club's 1st and 2nd XI teams compete in the Tyneside and Northumberland Cricket League. When the first Ordnance Survey Six-Inch map of the area was published in 1865, the area now occupied by the cricket ground formed part of the extensive Whitley Bay Limestone Quarry (Whitley Quarry). The Clubhouse is the white building at the far side of the ground. For a selection of detailed free to download walking routes in the area visit www.northtynesidewalks.co.uk
