This is the definitive chronicle of the greatest venue in cricket. Containing over 150 illustrations, many of which are taken from the extensive galleries and archives of Lord's itself, it follows the history of the ground from its foundation by Thomas Lord in 1787 throughout the 20th century and right up to the present day. Including visits by royalty, the Long Room's role as an impromptu synagogue during the Second World War, the construction of the Media Stand, and countless great occasions in domestic and international cricket, this will appeal to anyone who has an interest in the game.
