Cockermouth Cricket Club Cockermouth Cricket Club was founded in the year 1823, in the historic market town of Cockermouth. This historic year finds its place located on the crest of the club alongside: The Daffodils (of William Wordsworth fame), Cockermouth Castle and the club colours of green and gold. The early years saw the club renting it's Sandair home from the wealthy Senhouse family. It is commonly misconceived that the club played on the grounds in front of the large Senhouse mansion at one time but Cockermouth Cricket Club have, in its long history, only ever had one ground; Sandair. This was eventually purchased from the Senhouse family and became property of the club. Many photographs which adorn the walls of the current Sandair pavilion are testament to the growing interest in the area during the Victorian era. In particular, a photograph of Cumberland versus Westmorland exists from the late 1800s fixture on the Sandair ground.
