Postcard Rugby League Final 1955 Barrow vs Workington Challenge Cup Lewthwaite

I offer a postcard: Rugby League Challenge Cup Final, 30th April 1955 at Wembley.  Barrow beat Workington Town 21-12.  Here Jimmy Lewthwaite is scoring a try for Barrow.

Many thanks to Don, a Barrow rugby fan.  He points out that the description on this card is inaccurate.  Jim Lewthwaite did not score in the 1955 cup final and the proximity of the crowd makes it pretty obvious that the game shown was not at Wembley.
