Old Photo
Thank you to John Stirling for allowing me to reproduce this
photo. The photo is taken from a
collection of lantern slides that John rescued from being
destroyed in 1974. The photographer is not known.
Some of the other slides from this series are known to have
been taken between about 1910 and 1920. |
Who? When? Where?
Do you know what
group of sportsmen (of different ages) this might be? The emblems on
their top may help to identify them.
When might this
photo have been taken? The poster in the background might help. |
Answers?
If you know the
answer to either of the questions above,
please email me.
Thank you.

1921, 1927, 1932 and 1938." |

Date of the Photo
"I was taking another look at the
lantern slide photo of the 'Group of Sportsmen'
I think it may have been taken at 27-29
Ratcliffe Terrace.
27-29 Radcliffe Terrace?

That would have been just up the road
from where the race started, outside No 43 Radcliffe Terrace."
