Hepworth Gallery (aka; 'Berlin Wall Gun-Placement' - that's what it looks like!)
Chantry Bridge

Could be a very interesting evening indeed!!
I might have to call & see his sister & brother-in-law, whom I know quite well, and see if there's a guest-list
(I also knew Joe, his dad, before he died)
After all, this is Yorkshire!!! (& if I can save some money...)
On a similar local (to me) cycling vein;
1. Graham, one of my running club-mates (or he was, before he emigrated to Oz), is Beryl Burtons nephew!
2. Val Rainbow (Rushworth, upon marriage - one of BB's contemporaries, & GB team collegues of the time) lives in the same village that Barry Hoban & myself grew up in!
I also had the great privilege of talking to Brian Robinson (first UK rider to win a TdeF stage) the other week ,when he was at the hospital I work at, with a family member
A very nice gentleman indeed!!
