I have just found a list of the players who have taken all ten wickets in an innings in the Lancashire League. There are only 21 in total.

The best analysis is that of Learie Constantine. Ten wickets for ten runs in 1934 against Accrington, all out for twelve runs. (Some things never change).
The others who have managed this are all professionals, and are as follows:

Tom Lancaster of Enfield (twice)
Cec Pepper of Burnley (twice)
Roy Gilchrist of Bacup and Lowerhouse (twice)
Fred Hartley of Church (twice)
Archie Slater of Bacup (twice)
A. W. Hallam of Nelson
A. Kermode of Bacup
Billy Cook of Burnley
H. Harrison of Haslingden
J. Horsely of Nelson
Ellis Edgar Achong of Burnley
H. Robson of Haslingden
Fred Freer of Rishton
S. P. Gupte of Rishton
Wes Hall of Accrington
A. Ferraira of Nelson
Ted McDonald of Nelson
F. Slater of Enfield
A. J. Richardson of Burnley
A. E. Nutter of Nelson

As you can see from this list, there is a very strong likelihood that the game you saw was indeed a Lancashire League game.

There are some very illustrious names here. How many do you recall watching James, in what is fair to say, was the golden era of Lancashire League cricket.
