  My father's name was William (Bill) Sansom.

  The only records I have are a West London Cycling Association certificate from 1932 and a list of his medals (dates, distance, time etc.) from the Dragon Road Club and Western NCU won between 1929 and 1932. I also, of course, have the actual medals.

  The 'Getty' photo and history of the building of the ground I found on the internet.

  I have tried uploading a file of the 'Getty' photo of an accident on the banking in 1937 and the certificate but I keep getting a file upload error message. I could try reducing the file sizes.

  Hi all

  I am not a cyclist but I was browsing for information on Paddington Recreation Ground Cycle Track and came across this forum.

  My father was a keen road and track cyclist in the early 1930's and I have a splendid collection of medals won over a number of years.

  I have managed to find a Getty Library photo of the track in 1937 and a history of the building of the recreation ground around 1890. I would like to ask if anyone has any photos, documents etc. relating to the Paddington track during the period 1930 to 1935 which is when he was most active.

  Thanks
