Kennington Common : ウィキペディア英語版 | Kennington Common
Kennington Common was a large area of common land mainly within the London Borough of Lambeth. The area was notable for being one of the earliest venues for cricket within London. Major cricket matches were played there from 1724 to 1785.〔G B Buckley, ''Fresh Light on 18th Century Cricket'', Cotterell, 1935〕〔H T Waghorn, ''The Dawn of Cricket'', Electric Press, 1906〕 The common was also used for public executions, fairs and public gatherings. ==Early history==
In 1600, the common was bounded on the south west by Vauxhall Creek. It extended over marshy land to the south west of the Roman road called Stane Street, now Kennington Park Road. There is a 1660 record of a common keeper being paid for grazing. In 1661, the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens were laid out nearby (its location is noted as the Vauxhall End at The Oval). The large open space was often used for a variety of purposes by people living on the southbank of the River Thames.
