One of the oldest first class county and Test cricket grounds in the country, where the game has been played since 1840 (Notts v. Sussex). The first Test Match played at Trent Bridge took place between June 1-3, 1899, against Australia, and featured the legendary W.G.Grace, playing his last test at the grand age of 50 years and 320 days!!

At the time this photograph was taken (June 1932), Nottinghamshire C.C.C. were enjoying a rich vein of form throughout the month, which included innings victories over Derbyshire, Somerset, Hampshire and Leicestershire.

Despite all the massive redevelopment in postwar years, the ground remains one of the favourite venues in England, both for players and spectators.

A better view of the City ground on the banks of the River

Trent,home to Nottingham Forest since 1898. Three hundred

yards away on the opposite side of the Trent was Meadow Lane

home of Notts county. The two grounds are the closest professional football stadiums in England.
