Think this shows the factory buildings in the background which were always known as “Cartwrights”. Also, Storey Evans where both my Mum and Dad worked at different times. I worked in one of those buildings in my summer holidays early 60s when it was Timothy Whites and Taylors pharmaceutical supplier. I was employed on a conveyor belt canning labelling and capping anti-freeze I used to go home a strange blue/green colour! Used to watch the Old Boys with my Dad in 1950s and look over the wall to watch the cricket at Rawdon Cricket Club.

A couple of the faces seem familiar, but I can’t put a name to them, but the lad on the right back row is Alan Summers I believe.

Lovely photo thanks for sharing. My Mum and Gran would have known all these lads as they lived in Town Street. I used to go and watch Rawdon Old Boys in the 1950s and 60s when the Schofield (greengrocers Harrogate Road) used to play for the team. They played in the same field behind the cricket ground which had posts and ropes all around it. It is an interesting view of the Billing as the farm was still there then and also the very high dark stone wall on the right that surrounded a well which always used to spook me when I walked past.

The man behind the goalie in the dark shorts is Jack Haste electrical engineer who lived on Yeadon Ave. He played at centre half. Back row far right I think is Alf Waite

plumber from Little London. The man on the far right in a suit looks like Fred Hanson. I thought the date of the picture would have been later than 1920.
