EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming and nostalgic print captured by Bill Rowntree, we are transported back to the sunny shores of Hove, East Sussex on a delightful summer day in June 1997. The focus of the image is none other than the legendary Cricket Umpire Dickie Bird himself, who appears to be enjoying a well-deserved break from his officiating duties. Dickie Bird, known for his distinctive white hat and animated gestures on the cricket field, seems perfectly at ease as he strolls along the picturesque beach. With its shingle shoreline stretching out before him, it's clear that even away from the pitch, cricket remains close to his heart. The photograph exudes a sense of tranquility and relaxation as Dickie Bird takes in the refreshing sea breeze. The vibrant colors of his attire contrast beautifully with the serene blue hues of both sky and ocean behind him. This snapshot captures not only a sporting icon but also showcases an idyllic seaside scene typical of British coastal towns during that era. Bill Rowntree's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the natural beauty surrounding Dickie Bird and his unmistakable presence within it. It serves as a reminder that even those dedicated to their craft need moments of respite amidst nature's splendor. This evocative print transports us back in time while celebrating one man's contribution to cricket history against an enchanting backdrop - truly capturing a moment worth cherishing forever.
