The reference I found said 1908 too but it was never built.

Hi you guys !!

I think this is for one for Old Rowley !

In my opinion ...... I think the clothes look about right though ! between 1900 -1910 .......... like us ... not everybody wore up to the minute clothes ! I have family photos dated 1910 ....... the clothes are pretty much the same !! I'd say Mick is right with the Times article ..... and they're NEVER wrong !!   ................ as I said that Madpants said it wasn't built !!

................ as I said that Madpants said it wasn't built !! 

No great surprise I guess. When the two workmen realised how much work they were expected to do, with little more than a bore tap, they probably went home!!.....

Wow Everyone    You have ben so busy whilst I have been at work!

A Big thank you to you all   

No wonder I couldn't find it if it was never built........ I wonder what happened to the £35k

Not suprised it wasn't built though with the work force on the postcard, women in big hats and children not to mention the man with a walking stick.

Thank you once again you are all stars 

Whilst I am here Does anyone know who this chap is ??

After a quick search all I found was an out of date eBay listing for a

'Tom Grave cycling the wall of death, 1908' postcard that they wanted £3.99 for, wasn't you was it?

Hmmm 1908 again,.......any connection between the two? 

Was he the first entrant in the '1st Annual Long Jump off the End of the Pier on a Bicycle' competition but was so disappointed when it wasn't built he spent his whole life going round in a giant hamster wheel?
