Cricketers in the barn

by Leave a Comment

IN 1950 when this was taken, cricketers didn’t have to have the comfort of a proper pavilion. This is Bernard Dodd’s workshop, at Barkston, tidied up (well stuff moved out of the way for a tressle table) to allow Long Bennington cricketers to sit down for their cucumber sandwiches. Among them are Denis Andrews, George Wright, Tom Tebb, Dick Culpin, David Newton, Peter Smith, Arthur Winter and Mrs Bob Newton. The picture was sent in by Hazel Tebb, of Long Bennington.
