• Just a quick snippet of the programmes, articles and photos I picked up when I got hold of my '48 Sibbit. Believed to have come from Jack's niece Dorothy and her Father Stanley.

    The race programmes are a great insight, with adverts from local (Manchester) builders, Berry, Sibbit, Denison, Stenton, as well as national & other adverts from Carlton, Soens, adverts for bread and breweries etc.
    Many famous names in the entries for races, with some entries filled in. If you know of a local cycling hero from this era, chances are, they are in these.
    Pictures from Fallowfield track show Reg Harris and others of the era (Tommy Godwin?)

  • This memorabilia is always fascinating, especially when you already know something about the people involved.

    Which year is that copy of Miroir Sprint ? I'm curious about which year they considered him the favourite at the start.
