It was used regularly by the club until 1961 when they moved to Garrison 1 Cricket Ground on the southern edge of the Chatham Lines.

The ground played host to 30 first-class, 28 of which featured Kent as the home side, and three List A matches.

[2][6] By the end of the 1967 season the quality of the pitch was causing "grave concern" to the MCC's Advisory County Cricket committee[7][8] after 26 wickets fell in one days play in 1967 during which "the ball turned, stopped and lifted, sometimes prodigiously".

Derek Underwood recorded the best bowling figures on the ground in List A matches in the same game, taking four wickets for 25 runs from eight overs.
