Title: Horace Leatherland
Post by: Miss1948 on Friday 17 February 12 22:43 GMT (UK)

I wonder if anyone has any information on the Langley Mill United Cricket Club.  I have some medals of my grandfather Horace Leatherland from the LMUCC dated 1898 and 1904.  He was a bowler.   I have looked through all the photos I have of him and there isn't one that shows him in cricket whites.  Does anyone have any photos of the team from those days?
Thanks

Have you tried the local paper.  There might just be a picture in there?

Good idea, thanks.  Which paper would that be, do you happen to know?

Not my area, but having a quick look, there are two that may  be relevant: Nottingham Evening Post and Nottingham Guardian.  Anna
