Notes par Lydia Corinna D`Oligny Letterstedt

But it is thanks to a woman that Newlands was set aside for cricket.

Lydia Corinna was LETTERSTEDT''s daughter. He had given her a portion of

land next to Newlands Station as a wedding gift.

In 1887, Lydia leased this land to the Western Province Cricket Club for

£50 a year. The first game - a two-day match between Mother Country and

Colonial Born, was played at Newlandson 02 January 1888. South Africa

hosted England in its first Test match at Newlands on 25 March 1889.

In 1896, the cricket club bought Newlands for £3 000 and leased it to the

Western Province Cricket Association. This deal lasted until last year when

theysold it to the association for R33-million.
