The club is trying to replace all its old touring photographs but are finding it difficult sourcing them.

Does anyone have a contact?

I seem to remember there were some on the wall in the bar including Dick Huddart etc in 1958. Else the RFL  must keep some. I know there is no Rugby Leaguer archive which is a shame. Most publications used to keep there back copies on a thing called a "Fiche" or something like that. I would have thought some of the older journalists would know where these are now. I know I used to go through allsorts in Leigh library in the 70's and 80's.

They were owned privately by a number of people

Stevo was involved so the club might be able to find out from him
