The photo is of Skipton Church Institute CC - not Skipton CC as many may think. Formed in 1882 the club is still going strong and based at Sandylands. I am the Club Secretary

I am interested in the location of CI's ground at this time. In conversation with a CI stalwart - Peter Clark - the team used to play somewhere between the castle woods and the Embsay road, but where exactly I haven't quite fathomed.

Church Institute used to play at "The Showfield" which was the field in which Skipton Show used to be held. The field is just on the Embsay Road just off the the main Skipton to Harrogate Road, by the lay-by at the top of the hill. The Club moved from there to Sandylands in the 1940's I think, first of all playing on what is now the LMS field, before moving to the current ground.
