Not had one of these for a while there’s a lass on twitter puts loads up of Sheffield in yesteryear and I thought this one would interest a few and spark some memories the old pavilion at BDTBL

Thanks for bringing back a host of memories, Bully.
I watched the great Don Bradman (plus a lot of other famous cricketers) from that balcony.
Also, I was in that room to the right of the balcony (by then used as a medical/physio room) on the day Trevor Hockey arrived at the Lane. Like a human tornado!

Didn’t they have a focus device on cameras in those days?
Actually, I remember that view quite well and sadly, it’s roughly how it would look to me nowadays without my specs on.

Don't think that would be at BDBL Chips.
I've been searching all morning trawling through the archives on line to check that and finally remembered I had one of his books and in it are his career stats.
He scored 3 First Class centuries, 2 at Scarborough for Young England and Yorks and the other at Northampton.
His highest score at BDBL was 77 v Gloucs in 1964.
