HS2 and the Green Tunnel The Ellesborough Road Ground was given to Wendover Cricket Club by Lionel AbelSmith, Lord of the Manor in 1956, and the first home match on it was played in May 1957 (Wendover won). The last match (weather permitting) was on 19 Sep and the last event on Sat 25 Sep after which all the buildings will be cleared by 30 Sep, see
also https://bit.ly/3zYevKF. Photo left shows removal of hedge and badger sett by early March. The photo lower left shows regrowth by mid-September. HS2-owned houses in Ellesborough Road were also boarded up, see also pages 8 & 17. A temporary relief road will be built here behind the houses. Access will stay for the remaining residents.
