Forest New Ground

The Forest New Ground at Nottingham was a first-class 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in 1771 for the Nottingham v Sheffield match, the Forest ground was used for cricket until 1979,[3] although it was superseded for first-class matches by Trent Bridge from 1840.

It is owned by Nottingham City Council and is used for Football and the annual Goose Fair.
