Amateur spirits abound in these vintage images, from the eager wait of an Amateur artist at a Country House Party on Christmas Eve, to the intense focus of boxers training for the Amateur Championships. The camaraderie of the Bexley Heath Colts football team is evident in their March training sessions, while the opening of Woodford Park sports ground in Woodley was celebrated with the grace of Lord Luke. Even Birmingham City footballer Eddie Brown took a break from his professional career for a friendly round of golf. And let us not forget the mischievous Amateur Cracksman, Raffles, and his partner in crime, Bunny, as they pulled off their daring heists in the works of E.W. Hornung and A. Conan Doyle.
