Hi all

I’ve got pictures of what I think are the sports teams for the Arthur Holden & Sons team,

My grandfather was Robert Ford who worked there as a paint maker and might’ve been a foreman if my dad is right and played for the sports team and scored the most goals in a season, at 50 goals.

I was wondering if anyone had information or anything on them lines if you worked with him etc, or about what it would have been like or anything like that.

Thanks in advance, I’ve attached two photos which I think are the football and cricket team if I’m right.

Welcome to the forum.
Do you have a rough date for these photos? It might help us find out some extra info.
Thanks

I think they were in the mid to late 60s or seventies maybe?
If in need of a closer estimate I can ask a family member but I hope it helps.
Thanks
