Image showing a cricket team, believed to have been taken at New Wortley Recreation Ground in the mid 1950s. We know that brothers, Harry and Walter Sumpner are in the picture. (The 1911 Census shows a Harry Sumpner, aged 5, living at number 4 Redshaw Mount, Tong Road (father, George Edward)and a Walter Sumpner, aged 10, living at number 80 Havelock Street. The 1901 Trade Directory also lists a Walter Sumpner at 30 Fitz Arthur Street, Tong Road. These addresses are all in roughly the same area of New Wortley, near Tong Road.) In the treeline above the group there are some factory chimneys and what appears to be the top of a gas holder. The chimneys are thought to be on Armley Road,which abounded with foundries and mills at one time. The gasholder would be the one just prior to the Armley Gyratory on Wellington Road.
