B. M. Close's Ground

B. M. Close's Ground was a cricket ground at Southborough in the English county of Kent. The ground was established in 1859 by Robert Winnifrith on land owned by George Newnham of Horsemunden Farm and was described in 1862 as "one of the best cricket grounds in Kent". The first recorded match on the ground was in 1859, when a Tunbridge Wells side played a New All-England Eleven.A cricket pavilion was built on the ground in 1860 and it was used by sides from Tunbridge Wells and Southborough during the early-1860s. In 1867, Kent County Cricket Club played a county match against Hampshire in the ground's only first-class cricket match. The ground, which also appears to have been known as the Paragon Cricket Ground, was used for three matches between Southborough and the Gentlemen of Kent at around the same period, but appears to have gone out of use soon afterwards, with Southborough matches transferring to Southborough Common.The final recorded match held on the ground saw Southborough play a team of Surrey Professionals in 1879. In the 1930s the site of the ground, which was probably to the west of the centre of Southborough, was built on and a housing estate covers the general area of the ground today.Cricket is still played on the Common in the town by Southborough Cricket Club. Their ground was used by Kent Women a number of times between 1957 and 1971 and remains in use today. Kent have played over 200 matches at the Nevill Ground in Tunbridge Wells 2.5 miles (4.0 km) to the south and 106 matches at the Angel Ground in Tonbridge 3 miles (4.8 km) to the north.

Great Culverden Park
Great Culverden Park

Great Culverden Park is a small, 4.2ha, woodland, about half a mile from the centre of Tunbridge Wells in Kent, England, west of Mount Ephraim and bounded entirely by houses along Royal Chase, Connaught Way, Knightsbridge Close, Culverden Park and Royal Wells Park. It is not accessible, or visible, from a public place. The Park is the remnant grounds of the former Culverden House, designed by Decimus Burton for Jacob Jeddere Fisher in 1830 and built on the highest point in the wood and the first big house to be built there. When Jacob Jeddere Fisher pulled down the old house and built himself another, in 1830, he named it Great Culverden. Great Culverden House was once the residence of Rear Admiral Charles Davis Lucas, VC, who died there in 1914. The house was demolished to make way for the Kent & Sussex Hospital, which itself was demolished in 2014 to make way for the Royal Wells Park housing development which was completed in 2018.The Park forms a 'green link' under the Tunbridge Wells Borough Council Green Infrastructure Plan, 2011 that provides a wildlife corridor linking the park, Rusthall Common and other local wildlife sites. The housing development along Mt. Ephraim is required to provide a contiguous Protected Ecology Zone through the development to support this. Except for an ice house, a hydraulic ram connected to a spring and some other hydraulic works, nothing remains of the house that gave the park its name. The Park is owned by Great Culverden Park Ltd., which may issue shares to properties adjacent the Park.
