Crystal Palace Park Cricket Ground
Crystal Palace Park was a cricket ground in Crystal Palace, London (formerly Kent). Located in the shadow of The Crystal Palace, the ground was established on June 3, 1857. The first recorded match on the ground was in 1864, when Kent played Nottinghamshire in the grounds first first-class match. Kent next at the ground in 1869, when they played Surrey. From 1869 to 1870, Kent played 3 further first-class matches at the ground, with their final match there coming against Sussex.
==Return of first-class cricket==
Ten years would pass before first-class cricket returned to Crystal Palace, when in 1880 the Players played the Australians during their tour of England. A further eight years elapsed from that match to the next first-class match at the ground, which came in 1888 when an England XI played the Australians during their tour of England, with three further first-class matches on the ground from 1880 to 1900, which included CE de Trafford's XI playing the Australians in 1896, the South playing the Australians in 1899 and WG Grace's XI.
In 1898, the Crystal Palace Company formed London County Cricket Club, with help from W.G. Grace who they invited to form the club with. Grace accepted the offer and became the club's secretary, manager and captain, thereby ending a 29-year association with Gloucestershire. London County played their first first-class match at the ground in 1900, when they played Surrey. From 1900 to 1904, London County played 34 first-class matches at the ground,〔Alan Gibson: The Cricket Captains of England (1989), p 57.〕〔Christopher Martin-Jenkins: ''The Wisden Book of County Cricket'' (1981), p 441.〕 the last of which saw them play Warwickshire. The increase in the importance of the County Championship, Grace's own inevitable decline in form and the lack of a competitive element in the matches led to a decline in attendances and consequently meant the team lost money, with the club winding up in 1908.〔Cricket 1908〕
