White Conduit House, and the conduit head from which it was named, 1827[1]

White Conduit Fields in Islington was an early venue for cricket and several major matches are known to have been played there in the 18th century. It was the original home of the White Conduit Club, forerunner of Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). Later it was used by The Islington Albion Cricket Club, who played their last game at the ground in 1834.[2] Maps from the time show that the cricket field was a few hundred metres north of the White Conduit House, in the land surrounding the modern Richmond Crescent,[3][4] and paintings suggest it was also possibly on the adjacent field to the south at the modern Barnard Park.
