Trent Bridge, Cricket ground in West Bridgford, England
Trent Bridge is a cricket ground in West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire, with a pavilion dating from 1889 and newer stands flanking the playing area. The site includes the Radcliffe Road Cricket Centre and the Fox Road stand, both finished in 2002.
William Clarke founded the ground in 1841 on riverside meadowland. The first Test match between England and Australia took place here in June 1899, establishing the site as a regular venue for international play.
The venue takes its name from the nearby crossing over the River Trent and has drawn crowds for over a century and a half. Spectators gather along the stands during international matches, following the game with quiet attention and occasional bursts of applause.
Visitors reach the ground through entrances on Bridgford Road, Radcliffe Road, Hound Road, and Fox Road. Parking is available at nearby sites, and the venue sits within walking distance of West Bridgford's center.
England set the record for the highest One Day International score, reaching 481 runs against Australia here in 2018. The old pavilion also houses a collection of memorabilia tracing over 180 years of play at the ground.
