Title
Photograph (sepia) marked on back 'Bedford County School vs United Universities'. Photographer, Kingham, Bedford [between 1898 and 1907]
It shows 12 boys of the school, in sports kit, sitting on a rug on the ground, in a corner of the school walls, and 22 men sitting or standing behind them with Mr and Mrs Farrar in the centre
No information is given about the game or the date.
However it must be after 1898 [when Mr and Mrs Farrar
married] and before 1907 [when the School changed its name to Elstow School].
The adult players are in a variety of sports clothing,
some wearing cricket clothes and some football. As it appears to be a game consisting of 11 players, it is presumed to show those taking part in hockey match.
The particular match, however, could not be identified in the School magazines of the appropriate dates
