My mother’s uncle, the splendidly named Fowler Beanland, was a great bowling enthusiast, and this is one of his photographs. It has a caption – Bowling At Devonshire Park, Keighley – but no date. I know that he lived, worked – and bowled – up in Cumbria in the early years of the twentieth century, and did not return to West Yorkshire until the First World War. This photograph, I suspect, dates from the 1920s.
