Valentine’s day
“All of us are lonely at some point or another, no matter how any people surround us.
And then, we meet someone who seems to understand.
She smiles, and for a moment the loneliness disappears.”
Pendennis Castle Road Races
Pendennis Castle Road Races
On the west side of the hill on which Pendennis Castle stands, alongside the coast road is a plaque commemorating the Pendennis Castle Road Races. The plaque was put in position in 2002 by the Pendennis Motorcycle and Light Car Club. These races were the first motorcycle races to be run on public roads in Britain and used a 1.5 miles circuit around Castle Drive. The races were held from 1931 until 1937 and a lap record was achieved by G.E.Rowley of Sidcup on a 346 AJS in 1 minute 44 seconds.

About
My wife, bless her tells me that I am rapidly becoming, or perhaps that should read have become a “Grumpy old fart”, so what better forum to spread my doom, gloom and paranoia than WordPress. I also have a love of old pictures, postcards and Edwardian Actresses, in particular Miss Gabrielle Ray which I hope to share at regular intervals. As my collection has grown I have set up another blog which contains only pictures of Miss Ray. Gabrielle Ray Thank you for viewing and comments are welcome.
