Thanks Tom, the wiki was the first place I saw the picture of the grave....I always knew it was there as he lived just down the road at the end of his career.

I've been round and around the maze that is Abney Park trying to find it but with no luck...

Hi TT_Tom, I'm new to this forum but spotted a pingback on tommyhall.co.uk.

I'm a relative of Tommy Hall's (distant relative...my dad's grandad) and I've been to Stokey cemetery a couple of times trying to find his grave as I'm obsessive about cycling too. Could you post the exact location for me please if you could?

He broke the world record for motor-paced cycling over 1 mile (http://www.tommyhall.co.uk/a-postcard-to-hetty/) and the record for London to York.

Cheers,
Chris Hall
