The 2020 cricket season and the County Championship should be underway, with Durham due to take on Notts at Emirates Riverside in a four-day game

But there's no action for now, and there’s been no pre-season photo call this year at the Riverside.

With no cricket, at all levels right, The Northern Echo is delving into our extensive and historic sporting archives to bring you an innings of pictures over the coming weekends. We will have memorable photos from back in the day, from various leagues, divisions and clubs across the North-East.

Today, we look back on some old team photos from Durham’s inaugural years.

What are your memories of the players who were part of Durham’s first years in first-class cricket?
