The first first-class match on the ground was in 1922, when Gloucestershire played Sussex.

Gloucestershire also played a non first-class at the ground in 1924 against a Scotland XI.[2]

The ground still exists today, after being sold by H.J. Packer and Co Ltd in 1935, it came under the ownership of the local council and is today used by the Old Georgian Eastville Club. In recent times, the ground has undergone a refurbishment with the construction of new buildings and the relaying of the pitch.
