ROYAL BRUNSWICK CRICKET GROUND

The Sussex County Cricket Team of 1864 photographed in front of the thatched pavilion. The ground was a little to the west of the Brunswick area, being where the Avenues are today, and was opened on 26 May 1848. It was not used for very long as its situation within the valuable Stanford Estate meant that the land would soon be needed for high-class residential development. It was replaced by the present County Ground in 1872.
