Pictures from the Past
Friday 17th April 2009, 9:30AM BST.
The cricket season will soon be in full swing, so let’s get into the mood with a look at these chaps from “Wrekin College XI cricket team, 1957, summer term.”
Written on the picture frame is “A grand bunch of fellows, I loved them all. From P.”
There are names written around the frame, but it’s difficult to work out who is who. But we’ll give them to you anyway as they might stir memories.
Underneath, reading from left, are written the names: Lingard, with Hartley written underneath; Baldwin, with Robertson written underneath; N Growfell (Capt); Robertson with an upward arrow, perhaps suggesting he is at the back; Joe White; ER Edwards; and on the far right FG Pierpoint, Surrey SCC coach.
On the top are written N Hartley above the far left back player, BJ Edwards, above the player back row fourth from left, and what looks like FGP, far right.
