Step back in time with this photograph of Underbank Rangers Rugby Club in Holmfirth, dating back to the year 1908. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich history of rugby in this picturesque Yorkshire town. The photograph captures the team in their Victorian and Edwardian era attire, standing proudly in front of a wooden fence, with the lush green fields of Holmfirth in the background. Each player wears a distinctive kit, consisting of a shirt, shorts, and stockings, with some sporting protective pads and headgear. The team's spirit is palpable, as they exude confidence and camaraderie, their gazes fixed on the camera with unwavering determination. The photograph is believed to have been taken as a memento of the team's achievements during that season, a tradition that has remained an essential part of rugby culture to this day. The image is a testament to the passion and dedication of the players, who braved the elements and challenges of the game, long before the advent of modern facilities and equipment. The Underbank Rangers Rugby Club, founded in 1877, has a rich and storied history, with numerous accolades and milestones to its name. This photograph, taken over a century ago, serves as a reminder of the club's proud heritage and the enduring appeal of the sport in Holmfirth and beyond. As you gaze at this vintage lantern slide, you cannot help but be transported back in time, to an era of simplicity, community spirit, and the raw, unadulterated joy of playing rugby.
