LCCC moved here from Grace Road in 1901 to be nearer the city centre. County returned to Grace Road from 1946 but played two more championship games at Aylestone in 1957 and returned in 1962 to play Cambridge University |

 This is a double for Leicester City! Their old ground, Filbert Street, and the site used for their new ground are both shown. |
