Aerial photos show no cricket ground. Perhaps Rushey Green Primary School occupies the site. The building looks as though it may have been divided into flats. The website of the Catford & Cyphers Cricket Club fills in some of the story: "Catford & Cyphers Cricket Club is a community development cricket club with a history spanning 120 years. "The club is an amalgamation of three clubs: Catford Cricket Club (1890), formerly of Penerley Road, Catford, Cyphers Cricket Club (1890); formerly of Kings Hall Road, Beckenham and Forest Hill Cricket Club (1882). "Both Catford and Cyphers lost their historic grounds in the 1970’s and 1980's respectively and now use the old Forest Hill ground, on which cricket has been played for over 100 years. The combined history of the club takes in many fine players who went on to play Minor Counties and County Cricket and in the case of one Jim Laker to become one of the most famous international bowlers of all time." http://www.catfordcyphers.btck.co.uk
