Hi Niamh,

As well as the Lords Museum, my cricket-mad colleague suggests that you invoke the crowd wisdom of the Test Match Special audience by contacting the BBC. It will probably get an airing, especially if it rains - and an answer. Certainly no bad publicity for your museum if it does!

Hi Niamh,

The Cricket Museum at Lords might be able to help with this. I paid a visit there last year to view their Museum and Archive – they have loads of information regarding different clubs and logos etc.

Here is the number for the Museum: 020 7616 5658, and the number for the Library: 020 7616 8559. We met their Documentation Officer (Rob) who seemed quite knowledgeable. Failing that their head of collections can always help. Her name is Charlotte, I’m afraid I don’t remember her last name.

Hope this helps

Sarah

Hi,

I have recently had a local cricket cap donated to us. While talking to the donor she said her father always wore a cricket top with the symbol of a skeleton holding a cricket bat on it and she often wondered what it meant. I cannot find any reference to it on line anyone got any ideas?

Thanks,

Niamh
