1900c GBCC Members Welcome Display – Photo in Club House 2022.

The above photo is displayed, much enlarged as a wall display in the GBCC (2022). The original photo (held by Brian Wright) is in poor condition and includes a handwritten note of the characters included in the photo. Brian has tried to decipher the names, and compared them to lists of players in the 1880s to 1900s and from Census information. The list is the same as one displayed on a different copy this image on the GBCC Walls. There is a copy in the Club images on this site as well.
