Victoria Embankment: the Field of Dreams Pavilion
The Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club website explained the objectives of the Field of Dreams Project: "[It] is the vision of the Trent Bridge Community Trust to leave a true legacy from the Ashes Test Series at Trent Bridge 2013-15. The new club house will drive the trust’s aim of bringing cricket back into the heart of the city of Nottingham. The four partners behind the scheme are Nottingham City Council, Trent Bridge Community Trust (representing Nottinghamshire Cricket Club and Nottinghamshire Cricket Board), city architects Maber and construction giant Willmott Dixon.
"Tracey Francis of the Trent Bridge Community Trust said: 'This is a hugely exciting, visionary project which will really benefit the local Nottingham community by boosting sport for all in the city. We are building a brand new dedicated cricket clubhouse to be used for cricket in the summer and junior football in the winter. At a time when we know that fewer people are playing cricket at community level, our aim was to protect the future of cricket and ensure that cricket continues to be played at Victoria Embankment for the next 100 years'."
The new Pavilion echoes the design of the one it replaced:
