Lancashire County Cricket Club & Old Trafford Lodge
A test ground with a hotel built overlooking the pitch is a venue that has worked out what to do with itself for the three hundred days a year when nobody is playing.
The record keeps the history and the visitor notes as the archive gave them, including the bedroom count and the date the ground first staged a test. The commercial side of grounds like this — hotels, conferencing, naming — is covered in Business.
Old Trafford, International cricket venue, home to Lancashire County Cricket Club, also known as Lancashire Lightening. A test venue since 1884, this famous ground has seen many changes, not least the addition of a 68 bed-roomed hotel overlooking the pitch. Call in and pay a visit to the superstore and maybe, take a photo of the famous Old Trafford pitch. Or why not make a night of it and stop over at the Old Trafford Lodge with continental breakfast included.
