The Frank Woolley Stand was built in 1927 to replace a wooden structure known as the Telegraph Stand , which had been used for journalists and the scorers . It is a two-tier , cantilevered stand which cost almost £ 6,000 to build and held almost 1,700 spectators when it was first built . It was one of the largest cantilevered stands in the world when opened , and was known as the Concrete Stand until being renamed to honour Frank Woolley in 1973 . Woolley , who played for the county either side of World War I , is the county 's leading run scorer and has made the most appearances for the side . He played 64 Test matches for England and was an inaugural member of the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame in 2009 . The stand was refurbished in 1972 and in 2012 Kent launched an appeal to raise money to construct a new stand to replace the existing structure
