White Conduit Club
White Conduit was used for a few more years until the London cricketers began to use Kennington Common and the Artillery Ground. The venue then fell into disuse for many years until the formation of the White Conduit Club around 1780. After the WCC members, through the offices of Thomas Lord, moved to the new Lord's ground at Marylebone in 1787, White Conduit Fields was abandoned.

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or club:
“He thought that I was after him for a feather—
The white one in his tail; like one who takes
Everything said as personal to himself.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“In another year I’ll have enough money saved. Then I’m gonna go back to my hometown in Oregon and I’m gonna build a house for my mother and myself. And join the country club and take up golf. And I’ll meet the proper man with the proper position. And I’ll make a proper wife who can run a proper home and raise proper children. And I’ll be happy, because when you’re proper, you’re safe.”
—Daniel Taradash (b. 1913)
