Cricket Pavilion

[lewisner]

I have to lay out a couple of small Cricket Grounds on my route and I"d like to find some building which would look passable as a 1920s Cricket Pavilion - small, wood with maybe a little verandah, the sort of thing you would also see on a bowling green.It occured to me that one of the Australian or New Zealand houses might look like this si I wonder if anyone has any suggestions?

Hello young man, if you go onto the DLS and type in the searchword admin, it gives you a couple of buildings that make excellent pavilion-type structures, unsure if they are all wooden though....

Hi Tupuluruk, I"ll have a look at that it sounds huge! I"ve eventually settled on "House 2b" which is all wood and has a verandah.Happily its also the same size as the pavilion as measured on a 25" Ordnance Survey map.

You could also look for Shoves' "small building" (KUID225064:4501331). This is a small wooden building with an awning on one side and part of a set of similar smallish buildings intended for a Victorian station. You will need to check "Trainz" as well as "2004" and "2006" to find it.

I have also used the "Sussex Beertent" on a cricket ground on the principle that the club might have been hosting a festival of some sort.

Incidently did you know that Gloucestershire County Cricket club used to play the occasional match on the former Erinoid Works Ground in Stroud. The Nailsworth Branch of the LMS passed the ground and sometimes delayed play "steam engine moving behind the bowler's arm".
