About Henry Wall

Lived 1852 – 1914 (aged 62). Henry Wall was a British cricketer and engineer.

Henry Wall (20 April 1852 – 13 October 1914) was an English cricketer. Born at Wigan, Lancashire, he was a right-handed batsman and right-arm roundarm fast bowler who made three appearances in first-class cricket.

The son of Thomas Wall, the founder of the Wigan Observer, Wall played the majority of his club cricket for Wigan (but did briefly play for Sefton Park in 1881), with Wall making his first-class cricket debut for Lancashire in 1877 against Sussex at Old Trafford. He made two further first-class appearances in 1877 for Lancashire, against Sussex at Hove and Kent at Maidstone.

Local parish records indicate that he was by profession a mining engineer. He died at Southport, Lancashire on 13 October 1914. His brothers, William and Thomas, both played first-class cricket.
