Cricket on the Forest Ground, Nottingham — Major Matches Begin, 1822
Nottingham vs Sheffield
1822-08-12
On 12-13 August 1822 Nottingham played Sheffield on the Forest ground at Nottingham — the earliest documented major match at the Forest, the open common ground that served as Nottingham's principal cricket venue for the next forty years. The Forest's history is the foundation of the cricketing tradition that would, by mid-century, produce William Clarke and the All-England Eleven.
