On the wall behind him is a poster for an upcoming billiard match (750 UP) that was to be held on Wednesday, 20th May 1914. The contestants were Mr. R. Ward and Mr. G. W. Spencer of Matlock Bank. Spencer was to be featured in the High Peak News later in the year. He was only 16 years of age and was already a promising billiards player. |
