The county ground situated in a suburban area in norwich,was norfolks finest cricket field,It was a cricket ground for over two hundred years.five international crickets games were played here By touring international sides,And thirteen a list games.the main players here were Norfolk county cricket club.The club moved out of the city to a new club in 2000 And after that it started falling into disuse And finally closed in 2007..there is uproar amongst the residents that the ground which they wanted as a recreation field is having seventy five homes built on in an already overcrowded area,they wanted the pavillion preserved and listed,but english heritage would not list it.it was said to have been funded by captain Colman,one of the founders of colmans mustard and foods.this site is a massive controversy in the city and not got down well with its residents as the bulldozers are now rolling in.
The main pavillion.a beautiful solid building with a beautiful thatched roof.
The head groundsmans cottage.
The new function hall that was built,this hosted weddings,had a sauna,changing rooms for the tennis courts and squash courts
The main function room with stage.
Some various other rooms around the building.
The two squash courts.
The gymnasium.
This was my favourite room,the mirrored room,but it did make me jump,as I was not expecting it,the room was covered in wall mirrors and I thought someone was at the other end,then when I moved it moved with me and then I realised it was my reflection
