Born and bred there and played with the bowls club for many years

Do you have any comments?  

Loved looking at the pics especially the bowls club ones,
I remember fondly most of these players whose names and memories have stayed with me all my life. Sadly virtually all have passed away now and the bowls club has moved to a new home. Even after all these years I still regard Whitwell as my home, and that says everything about this lovely village.
