taken 9 years ago, near to Belfast, Co Antrim, Northern Ireland
Ulidia Playing Fields
The Ulidia Playing Fields were formerly the Ormeau Cricket ground of the North of Ireland C.C. Link
(Archive Link ) In 1921 it hosted its first first class international game - that between Ireland and Wales. With a largely middle class Protestant membership the club based as it was in a working-class republican neighbourhood became a target for arsonists and decided in 2001 to withdraw from the area. The fields were then taken over by the Belfast City Council and converted into football pitches.
