Arthur fought and won at the Glossop Road Drill Hall in 1921.  Two days earlier Ludlam, a catch-weight, had stated he was keen to box Young, Fagan or "Nipper" Moore 15 rounds for £25 a-side.

Arthur was the timekeeper at Glossop Road in March 1931 ( Pitsmoor versus St Silas Clubs) where the prizes were presented by Chief Constable Sillitoe. In June 1931 he was the timekeeper at the amateur contests for the Clayton Cup, held at St Silas School.

Arthur Edward Ludlam, a Works Manager, died aged 51 at 46 Monmouth Street and was buried at City Road on 17th November 1953.

Thanks for this Edmund, it is fascinating, were there any photos of the event?

I knew Eric Ludlam who worked for the GPO, lived at Woodseats at one time

He was an amateur boxer, wonder if he was related to Arthur Ludlam ?
