EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures the spirit of a lively cricket match in the picturesque Bournville Village during the 1920s. The scene is set against the backdrop of a quintessentially English village, with its charming cottages and lush, green surroundings. The village, founded by the Cadbury family in the late 19th century, was renowned for its idyllic setting and strong sense of community. The photograph shows a group of villagers engaged in an animated game of cricket on a sun-dappled pitch. The players, dressed in their crisp whites and donning protective pads and helmets, display a fierce determination as they focus on the ball in play. Spectators, clad in their Sunday best, watch intently from the sidelines, their expressions a mix of excitement and anticipation. The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back to a simpler time, when the pleasures of a village cricket match brought people together in a shared celebration of community, friendship, and the simple joy of the game. The lantern slide, with its warm, golden tones, adds to the nostalgic charm of this enchanting image, evoking memories of a bygone era.
