Cricket at Clayton West in the form of a club began in 1877 when Clayton West Cricket Club was founded. 

The immediate surrounds are interesting: a field of horses (of different colours), a couple of new housing estates, a caravan, a bit of light industry, a crane, an ad hoc building site, lots of bushes, and a farm. In the far distance you can see Emley Mast; in the near distance a neat white fence marks off the perimeter of the ground.

In 2001 Clayton West were the only Huddersfield League club to be affected seriously by the foot-and-mouth crisis.
