Historical context & sources
The letterhead identifies F. H. C. Salmon as honorary secretary, at 101 Strand Road, Sandymount, and T. C. Fox as honorary treasurer, at 70 Belmont Avenue, Donnybrook. The preprinted date line shows “193” and was left blank, suggesting use in the 1930s; no exact year can be assigned on the available evidence.
Irish sporting and social history
Founded in 1868, Pembroke Cricket Club is one of Dublin's established cricket institutions. Its long association with Sydney Parade gives this unused letterhead interest as a record of the club's administrative history and the geography of cricket in south Dublin.
