Not into cricket but I'll guess White City and The Oval ?

Yep. Funnily enough the Bramall Lane question was on comms during Yorkshire’s recent game & via Twitter I was the first to answer correctly :D A lot said Bradford Park Avenue

Love the Oval it’s a great venue. A couple of years back play stopped due to rain & a couple of us wandered around the members area looking at all the various paintings & memorabilia it took a couple of hours but was well worth it. The Surrey members love Yorkshire playing there as they set up a separate bar which serves nothing else but Yorkshire bitter. The stock normally only lasts 2 days though :D

Agreed I much prefer the Oval to Lords, only been once to each ground but the people at Lords were very stuck up and were completely different in South London.

Was going to post the above. I think Sheffield was fairly obvious with the cricket ground and football ground in the same stadium but was guessing the Oval due to the size.
I think the Oval was turned into allotments during the war.

Actually it was a POW camp.
