Description: | Undated. The source of this photograph is not known but it looks to be a Morley cricket team of the 1860s or 1870s. The only recognisable player is the person at the extreme left with the ball in his hand. This is Oliver Scatcherd, and it is known that in 1868 he played for a Morley team against a Pudsey team for ?50. It was over 2 innings each and 2 days. Although Morley lost by an innings it is known that Oliver Scatcherd took eight wickets in Pudsey's only innings. Alternatively, it could be a picture of Morley Nelson Cricket Club in the early 1870s when they played on the field behind the Nelson Arms before moving to the ground on Scatcherd Lane.
