This Spring View Cricket Club team photo has come to me from my grandfather, Alfred Evans, seated middle front row. The photo is undated but my guess is perhaps sometime in the 1930's

Looks like it was taken at Bull Hey, Wigan Cricket Club.

A picture of happier times before the War. C.G.Rose became Ordinary Seaman RN and was killed in WW2.

Ron, Can you move the photo to Wigan Cricket Club section.

PF presume PF is Peter Fleetwood, there is someone's name missing off the back row, seven named including umpire and scorer, eight in the photo. Well done all the same.

Thanks to PF for the correction to the team identity and for the details of the team members. I posted the photo - the original is not annotated, so my mistake in thinking it was Spring View.
