Trent Bridge
Trent Bridge is an international cricket ground in Nottingham. It was opened by William Clarke in July 1840 on land next to the Trent Bridge Inn, which was owned by Clarke and his wife. It immediately replaced the Forest Racecourse as the home venue for county matches played by Nottinghamshire, and became a regular Test venue from 1899. Trent Bridge has a seating capacity of 17,500.[1]
