I found it fascinating.

I bought the boxed set of Mitchell & Kenyon films from the National Museum of Film etc in Bradford, theres not much rugby in it but hours worth of film from that era.

And of course, theres always my wedding video

Seriously, people don't believe me when I tell them that the photographer who did the pictures offered to do a video for us for free because he'd just bought a new-fangled video camera and he wanted his assistant to learn how to use it

Yes he uses the film camera thats on The Flintstones, the box with the little bird inside that pecks the picture out of a slab of stone

I mentioned on another thread that Mr H had plans some years ago to open up a museum of Leeds RL artifacts at Headingley and during the conversation it was mentioned that they have the original Northern Union declaration of independance which shows, apparently, that Leeds were not one of the foremost clubs at the time and indeed that they played in a lower competition than Hunslet (for instance) - the legend being that the Leeds representative turned up late for the meeting at The George, after all the big players had signed the contract.

Had to pull you up on your typo there McField.

That video is brilliant

So, who were the other two big clubs in Leeds, apart from Leeds and Hunslet ?

Leeds Parish Church ???

Unfortunately I'm barred from entering but if I'd been allowed that would have been one of my answers along with Holbeck.

Indeed

At the time we're talking about, I think Holbeck had left the Northern Union to become some non-entity that sunk without trace ...
