Thomas Richards - 1883

The following photographs were kindly sent by Mrs Margaret Page.  They show a medal, won by her great-grandfather, Thomas Richards.  The medal is for 1st place in a 1 mile novices scratch race.  It is likely that this took place at the Aston Villa football ground, which was used at the time for cycle events.
