EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back to the Lanlivery Vintage Rally in September 1991. The rally, held in the picturesque village of Lanlivery in Cornwall, showcased a stunning array of lovingly restored vehicles from throughout the south west. Amongst these treasures stands Hugh Bicknell, an 82-year-old resident of St Columb, proudly seated on his prized possession - a 1925 Royal Enfield motorcycle. This particular motorcycle holds great significance for Hugh as he has been its devoted owner since 1950. With its vintage charm and timeless beauty, it serves as a testament to both his passion for motorcycles and his dedication to preserving history. As he sits atop this magnificent machine at the rally, one can only imagine the stories it could tell if given a voice. The event itself was not just about showcasing these remarkable vehicles; it also served as a charitable endeavor with proceeds being donated to local causes such as St Brevitas Church in Lanlivery village. This added sense of community spirit further enhances the warmth and nostalgia captured within this photograph. Through Jonathan Barker's lens, we are granted a glimpse into an era where craftsmanship and tradition reigned supreme. This image immortalizes not only Hugh's love for his cherished motorcycle but also pays homage to all those who contributed their time and efforts towards making this vintage rally an unforgettable experience for enthusiasts young and old alike.
