Actress was in rounders team
From the Bolton Evening News, first published Wednesday 6th Aug 2003.
YESTERDAY I printed a couple of pictures brought to me by Mr Stuart Banks, of Rose Lea, Harwood, but which had been owned by his late uncle, Mr Thomas Cowell, who used to live in Bowen Street, off Chorley Old Road.
Mr Cowell, as well as having a life-long interest in local rounders and hockey, also raised money for the Edgworth (Crowthorne) Homes, and among the photographs was this one taken in the early 1950s. As the children there were orphans from many areas, you might not recognise them. But what about the girl in the centre of the front row, holding the young boy? It was Shirley Broomfield, who went on to be actress and film star Shirley Ann Field. While at Edgworth, she played in the school rounders team in the Bolton SSS League.
