From 'Horsforth and Its History' by J.M. Morfitt
The Horsforth athletic meetings were held in the 1870s-80s… attracted large crowds though they were often marked by the pestering tactics of loud-voiced…
Two noted local athletes… were W.E. Roberts and John Bramham, son of Joshua Bramham, landlord of the Old Ball. Both of them were runners and John Bramham's speciality was the 120 yards hurdle race.
