The Royal Brunswick Ground, also known as "C H Gausden's Ground", in Hove, Sussex was a venue for first-class cricket matches from 1848 to 1871. The ground was situated to the west of the Brunswick Town area of Hove, roughly where Third and Fourth Avenues are today.[1] As the land near the seafront was required for the expansion of the town, the club moved in 1872. [2]
The ground was the home of Sussex County Cricket Club which had previously (1814–1847) been based at the Royal New Ground. In all, 64 first-class matches were played at the Royal Brunswick.[3] The ground was used for many non-Sussex county matches, for example in 1864, a "Gentleman of Sussex" team played against a "Gentleman of South Wales" team,[4] in 1866, county players played a match against a team including nine "Gentleman of the County" and nine "Colts of Sussex",[5] and in 1866 the ground was used for a match between Brighton Club and Eashing Park Club.[6] Since 1872, the club has been based at the County Cricket Ground, Hove, its present home.
