Yesterday I was pushing back the history of the Chorlton-cum-Hardy cricket club, which started with a picture from my old friend Oliver which showed his uncle outside the club house.*
Oliver also lent me a second photograph of his uncle, which intriguingly is entitled St Clement’s CC.
Now I naively thought this too would be relatively easy to track down.
But so far I have drawn a blank.
Perhaps there may be a clue in the background which seems to suggest the wide open spaces of the meadows. So were they playing on Chorlton's ground?
There are plenty of references to a St Clement’s CC in the Manchester Guardian for the interwar years but none which seem to for a team in Chorlton.
So there is the quest. Where were they based, when did they play and does anyone remember them?
