Claughton Family – 1904
Tomas Claughton and family with Sydney Claughton sat in the back of the car (3rd from left).
Thought to be the first private car owned in Guiseley.
Tomas’s father Hugh Claughton had a boot factory which occupied the site later taken by the Silver Cross pram works between Otley Road and Back Lane.
Hugh and his wife Jane had 6 children, Tom, Nathaniel, Wilfred, Polly, Jenny and Lily.

John Walker: Definitely Guiseley CC. Football field behind the trees on the right and the swings behind the pavilion. Second from right stood up is Ronnie Claughton.
Andrew Dalton: You’re right John. The umpire was a Guiseley man but can’t put a name to him.
Frances Haigh: These are all members of the Claughton family. The umpire is Alan and the others are Jim, Ronnie Brian and Marsden. The 2 young boys are Ronnie’s sons Andrew and John.
Lawrence Walker: Yes definitely Claughton family at Guiseley CC, John Claughton played for Oxford University and county cricket for Warwickshire.
Rachel O’Connor: That is when it was the old wooden pavilion at Guiseley CC.

Jim Claughton moved to Hull and was a member of one of the Hull Rotary Clubs.
He died a few years back but I think his widow Mimi is still around.
Does anyone remember Cedric Walsh and his whirling bowling action?
Happy days watching Guiseley in the Airedale and Wharfedale League!
