Ground name

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The 1923 map gives the name of this ground as the Rover Sports Ground. The 1888 map has it as 'Coventry Cricket Ground'. The 1903 map and 1919 map simply have it as 'Cricket Ground', while the 1947 map shows it partly built on by 'College'.

Was this ground really called the Butts Ground or is this some name applied in retrospect? FieldOfWheat (talk) 14:08, 28 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
