Thereafter Knur had difficulty gaining further acting work and quickly disappeared from the limelight.

Josephine Knur (born 1954) was an Australian actress recognised for her role in television soap opera Number 96 in the 1970s.

Knur was immediately switched to the new soap opera The Unisexers that was created by the Number 96 producers, Cash Harmon Television, in early 1975.

Here coal miners played the game of Nipsy (not Knur & Spell) on the field at the back of the Miners Inn (Pigoyle).

The cast included: Tina Bursill, Josephine Knur, Steven Tandy, Tony Sheldon, Delore Whiteman, Walter Pym, Jessica Noad and Patrick Ward.

After a brief appearance in an episode of police drama Division 4 in 1974, Knur was added to the cast of top rated soap opera Number 96 as the vivacious but dumb blonde waitress Lorelei Wilkinson.

As late as the 1930s exhibition games of knur and spell by veterans drew large crowds to the Rusland Valley in North Lancashire, according to the chronicles of the North West Evening Mail.

Played at the Pub by Arthur Taylor describes the wide range of pub games to be found in Britain, from darts to dwile flonking, and features long lost games such as knur and spell and nipsy.
