"Old" Cricketers, Beeston - Outing - 1953


Cricketers Outing


An outing leaving from the Old Cricketers pub on Wollaton Road, Beeston
- that is, of course, the original building on the corner of Albion Street, before it was knocked down and replaced with the present building on an adjacent site.

The photograph is believed to be dated 1953 as the pub appears to be decorated for the Coronation

Thanks to Joseph Blackwell for supplying the photograph.

Mrs Avril Wheeler has kindly written to let us know that the lady in the middle of the front row, in the dark suit and with her bag in her left hand is her aunty, Margaret Hazzledine.
Her husband, George Hazzledine is on the back row, third head from the right. The lady to the left of Margaret is believed to be her best friend Nell.

Thanks to Tony Rushton for identifying Bob Turgoose.

The conversation has now been joined by Lorraine Gerry who has kindly sent in names suggested by her mother Maureen Longford. The prominent man on the front row, with trilby hat and glasses, is Lorraine's great grandather, Albert Horace Hazeldine. The lady between Margaret Hazzledine and the lady to her left is Mrs Ousley/Housley - whose husband, "Spider" Ousley/Housley is at the back and at the left hand end of the window, wearing a trilby hat. Also at the back, without a hat and in the middle of the window is Teddy Hill. The middle of the three ladies, standing behind the two men kneeling down, is believed to be Lucy Husbands - and between and behind these three ladies is a lady believed to be named Christine (who lived at the top of Dennis Avenue).

As describing the position of each person is becoming difficult, each face has now been mapped and numbered.
Move your mouse over any face to reveal the reference number and, where identified, the name of the individual

Suggestions for more names would be very welcome. Please quote the reference number of the individual you can name.
