Douglas sports ground. Originally for the recreation of the workers of the Douglas factory but later also used to test the motorcycles. In 1950s used to store 'Vespa' motor scooters produced under licence by Douglas. (I can remember skylarks nesting in them!) Also used for school sports days and charity football matches.
