Forest New Ground

The Forest New Ground at Nottingham was an important cricket venue used by Nottingham Cricket Club in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.^[1]

Forest New Ground incorporated the old Forest Racecourse^[2] and in some sources the cricket venue is referred to as Forest Racecourse or else as "Forest Ground".

First recorded in 1771 for the Nottingham v Sheffield match, the Forest ground was used for cricket until 1979,^[3] although it was superseded for important matches by Trent Bridge from 1840.
It is owned by Nottingham City Council and is used for Football and the annual Goose Fair.^[4]
