    One of England's most famous test cricket grounds was used as a military hospital during World War One. The pavilion at Trent Bridge in Nottingham was taken over by the Army and used until 1919.

    The home of Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club, the ground was also used as the British Army's central mail-sorting office during World War Two (1939-45). More recently, the old ground witnessed England's thrilling victory over Australia in the fourth test of the 2005 Ashes.
