Cricket club celebrates 175th anniversary with commemorative book
Crakehall Cricket Club is celebrating its 175th anniversary with the launch of a commemorative book.
The book, titled 175 Not Out and written by club member Ted Haslam, pays tribute to the club and the village community.
It was unveiled at the club's recent village fun day, organised alongside Crakehall School.

As one of the few remaining teams still playing on the village green, the updates chronicle its rich heritage.
People can purchase the book for £15 at Crakehall Shop and the Bay Horse Inn, or through the club's official Facebook page.
A photograph from the launch event shows Ted Haslam and Club Captain Chris Wooding, who presented Mr Haslam with a tankard as a token of gratitude for writing the book.
