Information About

Artillery Ground




The earliest definite - ''Cricket Scores 1730 – 1773'').

The site of the Artillery Ground was in Finsbury between Chiswell Street and Bunhill Fields. It was referred to in contemporary reports as the ''old'' Artillery Ground, but this may be because it was used frequently for other forms of sport or entertainment. It was generally used for matches involving the original London Club and also became the featured venue of all London cricket until about 1765 , after which the focus shifted to Hambledon and the London Club disbanded.
