These memorable photos take you back to Menston in the mid-1990s. 1996 is the focus on the gallery, a year in which a pub was making a stand against its cricket club neighbours. Elsewhere PE teachers at a high school up the road from the village had reason to celebrate as did cricket mad youngsters.
