Prince of Wales Ground

As the towns of Brighton and Hove developed, the land was sold a few years later and the cricket club moved to a new site in Brighton at Temple Fields, which was where Montpelier Crescent is now.

The Brighton club was representative of Sussex as a county and it ultimately became the main instrument in the formation of Sussex County Cricket Club in 1839. From July 1814 the club occupied the Royal New Ground (also known as Thomas Box's Ground), another Brighton venue, which was used for numerous important matches until September 1847, and was the county ground of Sussex in its early years.^[3] From 1848 to 1871, Sussex used the Royal Brunswick Ground in Brighton, also known as C H Gausden's Ground.^[4] Since 1872, the club has been based at the County Cricket Ground, Hove.^[5]
