West Indians in the
Lancashire Leagues
Curated by the Lancashire Cricket Heritage Group, the exhibition is the latest in a number of exhibitions being developed to highlight and celebrate key moments, events and movements in the history of Lancashire Cricket. It showcases the household names and great international players from the West Indies gracing Old Trafford as well as the rich history of West Indian players throughout the Lancashire Leagues.
The exhibition shows the colour and vibrancy of West Indian cricket and there is a specific section highlighting the crowds who came to watch the West Indies in Test Matches at Old Trafford. In the 1970’s the cricket authorities banned flags, musical instruments and alcohol from entering the ground.
