Step back in time to the golden era of cricket with Kilner, a beloved name in Yorkshire and beyond. In the early 1900s, Kilner was a key player on the Yorkshire County Cricket Team, contributing to their victories in 1912 and 1919. His caricature, alongside teammates Tate, Bryan, Whysall, Hendren, Hobbs, Woolley, Sutcliffe, Tyldesley, Freeman, Sandham, Chapman, Strudwick, Douglas, Hearne, Howell, and manager Mr Toone, is a delightful reminder of "Tastes of Summer" and the camaraderie of the game. Fast forward to the late 1920s, Kilner's legacy lives on as we savor the fruits of the season - in this case, plums - preserved in airtight Kilner jars. The classic design, with metal clasps securing lids, remains unchanged, offering a timeless solution for food preservation. As we reminisce about the past, let us not forget the architectural perspective of residential flats, showcasing the evolution of living spaces. A page from the Army and Navy Stores Catalogue, 1939-40, offers a glimpse into a different era. Lastly, let us celebrate the spirit of cricket with a Gentlemen v Players 200th Cricket Eleven, where Kilner's name would surely be among the greats. The game may have changed, but the joy and tradition it brings remain the same.
