To mark the 200th anniversary of The Westmorland Gazette in 2018, we are publishing a photograph from our archives on our website every day this year.

Today's photograph shows braziers being used in an attempt to thaw the pitch at Netherfield in Kendal, for a match on New Year's Day in 1951.

You can see all of the archive photographs uploaded so far by going to http://www.thewestmorlandgazette.co.uk/news/gazette_200th_anniversary/
