Bicycle retailers in Southwell around 100 years ago
Cycling through the 1922 Southwell flood
Perhaps the bike was bought from one of those shops?
With the Ovo Tour of Britain cycle race coming through Southwell this year (2018) I thought I'd look into whether Southwell was a popular cycling town around 100 years ago.
I found the following listed in an old Trades Directory for the town.
Can anyone add any more information of photos?
John Alfred LOUGHTON - Whitesmith & Cycle Agent, Market Place and Queen Street
MATHER & Co. - Ironmonger, King Street
Thomas PAGE - Cycle Agent, Westgate
