Description: | The Newcastle Cycling Club's Five Mile Amateur Championship of the North was first competed for in 1878. This cup was introduced in 1885. It is engraved with a view of the race and the lid features the figure of the 'whipper-in' blowing his horn. At this time cycle races were competed for on penny-farthings, also called 'ordinaries'. The modern version of the bicycle, introduced as the 'safety bicycle' did not become standard design until about 1890. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | metalwork living in the North East events art designers makers Gateshead leisure date period | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
