  • Racing in the 1940'S and 1950'S
    Racing in the 1940's and 1950's By Barrington Day As the title suggests this is about racing in the 1940's and 1950's, in fact we go back into history. It all started in the 1800’s, but it was in 1941 when a gentleman called Percy Stallard wanted to start Continental Road Racing on the open roads in this country, seems he was up against the proverbial Brick Wall. Percy Thornley Stallard (19 July 1909 – 11 August 2001) was an English racing cyclist, who reintroduced massed-start road racing on British roads in the 1940s. It was banned in the late 1800's by the NCU. Born in Wolverhampton, at his father's bicycle shop in Broad Street, Stallard became a member of the Wolverhampton Wheelers and was a keen competitor in cycle races, competing for Great Britain in international races during the 1930s, including three consecutive world championships (1933–1935). He was also a successful cycling coach and team Manager. Cycling was run by the NCU (National Cyclists Union), (see badge) They were totally against any Road Racing on the open roads. In fact it was on the 24th July 1894 when it finally came to a head. A 50mile Road Race was being held on The Great North Road, 50 starters plus any number of pacers that each rider could cajole into acting for them. F.T. Bidlake was going flat out, being paced by J.W.Stocks who was really winding it up, Arthur Ilsey the other pacer was just hanging on. When near the 57th milestone a horse and carriage idly approached, the lady driver panicked, swerved across the road, the three cyclists all crashed, their bikes ruined.

  • The Roots of Leeds AC
    Chapter 1: The roots of Leeds AC Leeds City Athletic Club was formed by amalgamation at the end of September, 1967, from three constituent Clubs. The oldest constituent Club was LEEDS St. MARK'S HARRIERS - and old it was, being the second Harriers' Club founded in YorKshire, in 1880. As the name suggests, it typified one of the places where urban running started in Victorian times - it was a church-based club, and as late as the 1960s was still operating from church halls. St. Mark's had always been very traditional in its outlook - suggestions that the Leeds & District Cross-Country League should run more than one race a year were vigorously opposed in the 1930s. It did, however, produce two of the City of Leeds' outstanding distance runners of the 20th Century - Frank Aaron (active 1937-52), the only man in the 20th Century to win three consecutive English Cross-Country Championships (1949-51), and MiKe Baxter (active 1962-82), for ten years an England International and a finalist in the European and Commonwealth 5000-metre Championships. It also founded the Aaron Trophy races, in memory of FranK's younger brother Arthur, Leeds' only World War II V.C. By tradition it had a strong connection with Roundhay School, and many of its members' including those mentioned above, were Old Roundhegians. By the 1960s it was still a reasonably active Club; a younger generation of runners was coming along, but it was, with few exceptions, still very 'harrier' in its ways. The second-oldest constituent was LEEDS ATHLETIC CLUB, the only one of the trio which had any pretensions to do more than cross-country.
