Former cricket ground in Norwich, England
Entrance to the former County Ground, with the thatched pavilion beyond the gates.
The County Ground in Lakenham, Norwich , Norfolk was a cricket ground for over two hundred years, hosting both first-class and List A cricket.[ 1] Five first-class games, all involving touring international sides, were played here between 1912 and 1986,[ 2]
and 13 List A matches were staged between 1969 and 1998.[ 3]
The County Ground's most regular users, however, were Norfolk County Cricket Club , who played over 400 Minor Counties Championship games at the venue.[ 4]
In the early 21st century the ground was redeveloped for a variety of other uses.[ 5]
