Sussex County Cricket Club - Sussex CCC - was the first First-Class County formed in 1839. Its location has moved several times since its formation. Firstly 'The Prince of Wales' Ground (where Park Crescent now lies), Temple Fields (where Montpelier Crescent now lies), Royal Brunswick Ground (where Third and Fourth Avenues are situated) and finally in 1871 the ground in Eaton Road was acquired from the Trustees of the Stanford Estate.

Since then it has been dedicated to hosting cricket games for professional as well as its cricket club for all age groups.

(Increase recycling). - Introduced washable plastic cups rather than throwing away each cup (re-using). - Rubbish generator that creates excess waste into energy. - Mini garden on top of left stand which grows seeds (green space, eco friendly).
