Thames Board Mills Sports Ground was a cricket ground in Purfleet, Essex. The first recorded match on the ground was in 1956, when the Essex Second XI played the Surrey Second XI in the Minor Counties Championship.[1]
Essex played their first List-A match there against Kent in the 1969 Player's County League. Essex played 4 List-A matches there between 1969 and 1972, playing their final List-A match there against Glamorgan in the 1972 John Player League.[2]
The ground is no longer used for cricket, but is used for football. The ground was previously owned by the London Fire Brigade, but is today owned by a private social club which retains its link to the Fire Brigade. There has also been speculation about Grays Athletic F.C. building their new ground there.[3]
