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.

It brings together historic photographs, diary entries, newspaper reports and memories to preserve the heritage of cricket in Eastham. It also records the latest chapter, as South Liverpool Cricket Club has restored organised cricket to Torr Park and is helping to shape its future.

Whether your interest is cricket, local history, genealogy or simply discovering more about Eastham, we hope you will enjoy exploring the remarkable story of this special place.
