Why is one boy in the middle near the left hand gate facing backwards?
Is he walking backwards?

Knowing children he's probably turned round to talk to his friend!  ;D

I think HandyPandy might be right and it is a visiting West Indian cricketer. Now whether he is the local Professional or part of a touring team I cant say. I would like to say I know West Indian cricketers of the late 50s? but I don't have any clue.

They don't looked dressed for cricket though, do they?


No, you're right.

It's a football (soccer team) on its way to an important match (locally important anyway). Maybe inter-school, maybe inter-house as suggested.  Other than that, I don't think there are more conclusions that can be drawn from this. It's a nice record of the times though.

White, or cream, trousers weren't exclusively for cricket?
Tennis players used to wear long white trousers; as did croquet players (one of my sports!)

In addition, white flannels were fashionable at certain times?! Especially 1920s.

I am not at all convinced there is a dark skinned/West Indian person in that lot!

 And I don't think they are going to play cricket either.     ;) ;)
