County Ground, Lakenham, Cricket ground in Lakenham, Norwich, England.
County Ground, Lakenham was a cricket venue in Norwich with multiple playing fields and a distinctive thatched pavilion building. The facility hosted regional-level cricket matches and served as an established sporting venue for an extended period.
The ground opened for cricket in 1827 and remained active for over 2 centuries. Early 21st century redevelopment brought its long sporting history to an end.
The ground served as a gathering place for local cricket enthusiasts who came to watch regional matches. The community connected with the sport here and used the venue for social events centered on cricket.
The location was accessible by public transport in the Lakenham district of Norwich. Visitors should note that the site no longer functions as a cricket ground and the area has since been redeveloped.
The highest team score ever recorded on this ground was 425 runs, achieved by the West Indians against Minor Counties in 1950. This remarkable performance remains memorable in Norwich cricket history.
