A Truly Historical Link

Again another example of Charlie getting lost !  At least he got to his destination in the end. In a roundabout way, the story does not end at this point.  References to the Stuart Street Power Station may be of more than a passing interest to readers.  Although the generating station was demolished in 1975 it still has its own website, sprinkled with pictures of other power stations around the world – if you are at all interested in industrial archaeology.

Why have I included all this non cycling rubbish about a demolished power station ?  Because it has a link to cycling over and above Charlie’s friend Tom Idle living nearby.  Wikipedia informs us that on the original power station site now stands the National Cycling Velodrome.
