This is a photograph of Grandad's grandparents, Mr & Mrs Buckle (he isnt sure if it was spelt 'le' or 'el' at the end) Mr Buckle spent his whole working life building pianos at Collard & Collard th famous piano makers in Camden, London.
This is a picture of Cecil Collard, which was found in grandads collection. It signed by him and dated October 1919. It appears Cecil Collard took over the running of the business and that he is credited with atleast 2 patents relating to pianos and their manufacture.
One can only speculate as to why this picture of a cricket team was found in the photo collection. As with the picture of Cecil Collard, it is actually a post card. It is embossed with 'Lambert Camden N.W' Due to the location of Collard & Collard in Camden, we are assuming that this is a Collard & Collard cricket team from the early 1900s.
