History

Nutbrook Cricket Club was founded in 1937 but had a peripatetic existence with regards to grounds to start with. The original ground was on The Ropewalk at the bottom end of Station Road in Ilkeston. The club then played at the Bridge Street ground in Cotmanhay in the 1950s, followed by the Shipley Boat in the 1960s. By the early 1970s, the club moved to Pavilion Road on the Cotmanhay Farm Estate on the edge of Ilkeston. In 1985 the club moved to their present ground, leasing a pitch from the East Midlands Electricity Board Social Club off High Lane East, West Hallam. The club purchased the 10 acre ground from Powergen in 2000. [4]

Prior to the 1990s all cricket played by Nutbrook were friendly matches. In 1991 a Junior Team was formed and in 1994 the club entered Division 4C of the Derbyshire County League. 1995 saw the formation of a second team, followed by a third team in 1996. [4] Success followed quickly and since joining the league the club has been Division Champions on 11 occasions. [1] [5]

The Club currently has 3 senior teams competing in the Derbyshire County Cricket League [6] and a junior training section that play competitive cricket in the Erewash Young Cricketers League. [7]

The Nutbrook Canal was a canal in England which ran between Shipley in Derbyshire and the Erewash Canal, joining it near Trowell. It was built to serve the collieries at Shipley and West Hallam, and was completed in 1796. It was initially profitable, but from 1846 faced competition from the railways, and more seriously, subsidence caused by the coal mines that it was built to serve. With the mines failing to pay tolls for goods carried on the canal, and in some cases refusing to accept responsibility for the subsidence, most of it was closed in 1895, although the final 1.5 miles (2.4 km) remained in use until 1949.
