1122 - The Lormor Cup: A History and Records

It was in the 1921-1922 season that a West Hartlepool business man, John Fawcett Lormor, presented a Cup for Competition by the 2nd Teams of the clubs that played in the Pyman League.  Although the League has long gone, the Cup continues to this day, being played at Under 17 Level by Clubs throughout Durham County as this winners list attests.   

John Fawcett Lormor (1852-1926) was from Seaham Harbour (his surname being of possible Huguenot extraction) and his sporting interests were in training track runners, and promoting boxing at the local Tin Circus or Blood Tub off Lynn Street, a short distance from his business as a Newsagent etc. in nearby Whitby Street (the business relocated to Lynn Street in the 1960s). John Lormor was also prominent in work for the Blind in the area.
