That is a pretty interesting read, would be nice to see it updated with Kipppax, Affinity, H4L, Hawk etc..

Bernie Facer worked for the old County Bats, before Hunts County Bats was formed. Bernie left to form his own business.

Yes it was called double D

Were Stuart Surridge bats ever made at the Bussey Building in Peckham?

Think it was Baronet Bats

To add to the list, chatting with Ed Garrard I believe he spent a bit of time learning with Keeley.

BB Baronet? Baronet was the name of the bat? Like Jumbo or Magnum?

Might be wrong but I always remember it as Baronet Bats.... but then again it was a while ago

You might be right. One in this thread: http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=6871.0

Just went for another rummage in the shed as remembered the sticker on the back of my bat.... The actual brand would appear to be 'Double B Batmakers'. So maybe Baronet was the model of the bat and maybe he did call it Double B for Bernies Bats.

Thanks. I was by no means sure.

Anyone with any information on Surridge and Bussey?

Not sure about the Bussey and Surridge connection, but Percy Surridge was taught batmaking by James Lillywhite - https://www.surridgesport.com/surridge-since-1867

Following on from their Slazenger and Fearnley features, there's going to be a Stuart Surridge article in next month's Cricketer.
