Hillberry 1920s

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the early 1920s at Hillberry, showcasing the dedicated tar-spraying gang and their remarkable efforts to transform this racing surface. In those days, the road was nothing more than two ruts with grass growing in between, until these determined individuals rolled and crushed stones to create a smoother track for thrilling races. The image takes us back in time as we witness their hard work paying off. Looking towards Brandish corner, which adds an element of excitement to any race, this photograph also sheds light on the historical significance of Telegraph Hill. This stretch of road holds its own story within the racing world. As motorcycles zoomed past during exhilarating competitions, Telegraph Hill became synonymous with speed and adrenaline. Preserved through BikeSport TT Race Pics' lens, this print not only showcases a pivotal moment in Hillberry's history but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and passion for motorcycling. It reminds us that progress is often born out of dedication and teamwork
