History of Catford Cycling Club (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Catford however was a rather special place for cyclists, it had its own active club, and racing became so popular that the large crowds were often put at risk. |
 | | The track, the first in England to be constructed with banking, was situated on undeveloped land to the side of the present Brownhill Road and this new sports centre, covered 9 acres with seating for 1,000 spectators. |
 | | The first World War curtailed activities somewhat but the Catford carried on, the end of that war saw a great deal of unemployment amongst members which those early members did their best to alleviate. |
