About this picture …

A village cricket match at Ledsham in the West Riding of Yorkshire, a few miles from Leeds; the spire of All Saints’ Church rises above the trees. Although the photo has the look of a 1950s postcard, it was taken on Midsummer’s Day in 2003. Close scrutiny of the batsmen’s gear and the umpire’s leg wear will confirm the date.
