Nan’s mound is a heritage site within Knowle, Solihull, West Midlands in the UK.
The site is a historical area with views of Knowle Village Cricket Club.[1]
Origin[edit]
The story of its conception dates back many thousands of years, although its specific origins remain largely unknown and are beholden to stories of folklore and legend. Over time the mound had become eroded and depleted as a result of natural erosion and weathering.
Restoration[edit]
The mound was restored during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 and the ensuing lockdown after a group of local mound enthusiasts, led by Andy Richmond and Alex Bleby, decided that with no cricket being played or any other activity to pursue during a period of great challenge that they would reinstate the mound through a socially-distanced outdoor activity that was permitted at the time.
Word grew of the reinstatement of the mound and soon there were collaborators who helped to get the mound back to its former glories with a layer of topsoil and grass seed being paced on the top in order to create a raised picnic and viewing area with views of the cricket club onto which it adjoins.[2]
Knowle Village Cricket Club[edit]
The mound is situated on Knowle Village Cricket Club and is a part of its land. The site has views of a local village cricket club and is best observed in the summer months.
