A terrific photo of Julie Le-Moine’s grandad Walter Hollender in his finest cricket whites. But where’s the pitch? Image kindly supplied by Julie Le-Moine.
Following the remarkable and fascinating response to Julie Le-Moine’s enquiry last weekend about a mystery cricket team photo from Walsall Wood, Julie has been good enough to send me another image – this time, it’s her Grandfather Walter Hollender.
Julie asked:
Hell0 Bob!
I found this photo today – Grandad in his cricket whites. It’s become a bit faded over the years I’m afraid.
Maybe someone can identify where he is playing… I think it’s behind St. Johns Church in Walsall Wood?
Regards,
Julie
I’ve done my best to improve the quality of the image. Does it jog any memories?
Last week, I featured this image from Julie Le-Moine and it caused quite a stir. Click for a larger version. Image kindly supplied by Julie Le-Moine.
While we’re about it, Peter ‘Pedro’ Cutler found these two newspaper repots relating to cricket in Walsall Wood:
Lichfield Mercury, Friday 13th August 1933. Click for a larger version.
Lichfield Mercury, Friday 12th July 1935. Click for a larger version.
Oh, and before some wag asks, and since I’ve already done Pearl & Dean today, Soul Limbo by Booker T and the MGs. You’re very welcome. I believe the batsman is Holding, the bowler’s Willey.
