ARTHUR MILTON (1928 - 2007) INTERNATIONAL CRICKETER AND FOOTBALLER.

Arthur Milton (1928 – 2007) former Henleaze resident, was the last man of twelve to play cricket AND football for England at international level.

Some of you who are interested in the history of football and/or cricket may have read the book subsequently produced by his great cricketing friend Mike Vockins, Arthur Milton: Last of the Double Internationals published in 2011 by Sports Books Ltd.

Thanks to Joan Milton Veronica Bowerman has now produced a short version of Arthur's many achievements on the webpage People of Henleaze and has included some previously unpublished local information.

Also many thanks to Jane and John who were given this signed photo by Arthur when he was their paperboy in Stoke Bishop after his illustrious sporting career.

This is a photo of Miss Reed, one of the former teachers.

We have photos of Miss Jenner, Miss Maggs and Miss Buchanan kindly sent in by old girls.  

Do any of you have any additional photos to add to this collection or know of someone who has?

It would be really good to have photos of Mrs Simpson and Miss Campbell in this collection.
