Welcome to the story of one of Merseyside’s oldest and most remarkable cricket grounds.

For more than 170 years, cricket has been played at Eastham’s Torr Park. Thousands of players have taken the field here, generations of local families have watched from the boundary, and the game has become part of the history and identity of Eastham itself.

This website tells that story.

Here you can explore historic photographs, diaries, newspaper reports, scorecards and personal memories that bring more than 170 years of cricket in Eastham to life.

But this is not simply a story of the past. After eight years without competitive cricket, South Liverpool Cricket Club has brought the game back to Torr Park, opening an exciting new chapter in the ground’s history.

Whether you are interested in cricket, local history, family research or simply discovering more about Eastham, there is something here for you.
