In support of the Sporting Heritage #SportandFashion month (June 2026) we will be displaying a selection of the Cricket Equipment collection that we hold. Follow the links below for the individual collections. Thanks go to Museum Volunteer Robert M, for all his work on this project.
Cricket Boots and Pad
This set of slides traces the development of Cricket Boots and Pads. Do you remember the heavy boots with large studs that you whitened before every match?
The Gloves are off !
This set of slides traces the development of Cricket Gloves, both Batting and Wicket Keeping. Do you remember those black rubber pimpled gloves that hardly gave any protection at all.
