View of Rack Fozzard, wearing a straw boater and striped neck-tie, posing with two cups won at cricket. Rack (Armitage) Fozzard was also a player of Knurr and Spell, a traditional pub game where the knurr, a hard ceramic ball about the size of a golf ball is placed with the spell. The spell is a mechanised device which holds the Knurr and is tripped when the stick pressed a lever. The ball is thrown upwards and forwards and the object of the game is to hit it as hard and as far as possible with the stick. Rack Fozzard and his brother, Adam, were born in West Ardsley in the 1870s. Image used courtesy of Peter Aldred.
