Introduction
This collection contains items relating to the 69th and 70th season of the West Kent Cricket Club. The West Kent CC was originally formed as Prince's Plain Cricket Club, founded in 1812 with its headquarters on Bromley Common, but lost its ground in 1821 due to the enclosure of Bromley Common. The club was rescued by an offer from the Chislehurst authorities to let them establish a new ground on Chislehurst Common. In 1876, three small local clubs amalgamated and called themselves the Chislehurst Cricket Club and agreement was reached so that the two clubs shared Cricket Ground Road for the next 100 years. West Kent CC was dissolved in 1980 and the Chislehurst club, now known as the Chislehurst and West Kent Cricket Club, has sole use of the ground.
