Initially formed in 1857, Plymouth Cricket Club played on fields on The Hoe until moving to South Devon Place (now Astor Playing Fields) in 1863. The club folded in 1905 until being "re-formed" in 1919 (playing away games only) before moving to Beacon Down in 1922 and Peverell Park in 1924. The club has entertained some of the major County teams over the years as well as hosting many Devon matches. Unfortunately most of the Club records were lost when the pavilion was burnt down in 1922 and also during World War II when a bomb caused a fire in the Guildhall where they had been stored for safekeeping.
