These superb photographs are reproduced with the kind permission of Nottingham Museums and Galleries.

They are selection from a late 19th Century Nottingham Bicycle Club Album. They appear to have been taken in and around Bottesford and Belvoir Castle in the Vale of Belvoir.

Barrie Whittamore is currently researching the details of the images: where they were taken, makes and types of bicycles; styles of dress, diversity of membership in terms of age, gender and ethnicity?
