EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of cricket's rich history in Yorkshire, England, featuring three legendary cricketers, George Herbert Hirst, Schofield Haigh, and Wilfred Rhodes, relaxing at the Blake Lee Guest House in Marsden near Huddersfield. George Herbert Hirst, born in Kirkheaton in 1871, was a prolific all-rounder who represented both Yorkshire and England. He is best known for his impressive batting average of 37.65 in Test cricket and his ability to take wickets with both spin and pace. Schofield Haigh, also born in Huddersfield in 1871, was a talented left-arm spin bowler who took 1,577 first-class wickets during his career. His impressive bowling performances earned him the nickname 'The Great Sowerby Spinner.' Wilfred Rhodes, born in Kirkheaton in 1877, was a versatile all-rounder who played a crucial role in Yorkshire's dominance in county cricket during the early 1900s. He scored over 20,000 runs and took over 2,000 wickets in first-class cricket. The Blake Lee Guest House, located in Marsden, provided an idyllic setting for these cricketing legends to unwind and reflect on their careers. The photograph captures a moment in time, showcasing the camaraderie and history of cricket in Yorkshire during the 1900s.
