Yorkshire Cricket — The County's Rising Strength in the 1850s
Yorkshire and northern county elevens
1855-07-01
Yorkshire cricket in the 1850s was played across several grounds — Sheffield, Leeds, Harrogate, Hull — without a formal county club or a single home ground. Despite this organisational informality, the standard of cricket was high enough that Yorkshire sides were competitive against the strongest counties, and the Sheffield club in particular produced several players who appeared in North of England representative sides. Yorkshire County Cricket Club would be formally constituted in 1863.
