Nondescripts Cricket Club, founded in 1888, moved to the ground in 1910 after reclaiming it from swampland. It first hosted first-class cricket in 1926, and has been in constant use as a first-class venue since 1989. Three One Day International matches were played there in 1986–87, and three Women's One Day Internationals in 2010–11. A new pavilion was opened in 2007.
