As you come along Donny Rd towards BV from the town you pass Howarth timber and the BP garage on the left thats where the buildings start, after a gap halfway along they start again and the Alex was the last building on the corner nearly opposite the Con club.

So that would make the first ground on the opposite side of Donny Road?

The Grounds of Rugby League - Trevor Delany 1991

Founded in 1873 as part of the Holy Trinity Church Young Mens' Society in George Street, Trinity first played on Heath Common, open land not far from Belle Vue. In 1875/6 they moved to Manor Field which was near the present (in 1991) Vicarage Street gasworks, a few hundred yards from the Cathedral. From there Trinity moved to Elm Tree Street, across Doncaster Road from their present ground, near the Alexandra Hotel, where on the 8th December, 1877 they played Leeds St. John's in their first ever Yorkshire Cup-tie. This ground also incorporated a cycling and athletics track. Yorkshire played Middlesex there on 29th March, 1879, and Halifax were the visitors on 5th April, in the Yorkshire Cup, a trophy which Trinity won for the first time the following Saturday.
The present Belle Vue ground was opened two day later, on Easter Monday, 14th April, 1879, when Trinity played their annual charity match against the Manchester club, Birch. Trinity, who had previously played in black and blue horizontal stripes, used the opening of the new ground as an opertunity to introduce their present club colours. These facts were confirmed by Mr Ernest Parker, Trinity's treasurer from 1905 to 1919, who had been present at the opening game.

Thanks for that. I'll pass it on. ). Ask the RFL if we could play without names on the shirts (no disrespect to the lads who would be playing in them) and the the shirts could be auctioned, for perhaps squadbuilder, with one shirt going into the new museum/memory hall.

For instance the shirt belonging to the scorer of the last try at Belle vue.
