Beryl Burton, Onchan Track, Isle of Man, 1961.
Beryl at the International Cycling Week on the Isle of Man in 1961. She's wearing her world champion's rainbow jersery. This is probably the first time this photograph has been seen by the public as it came from a private collection. It was taken by Alf Grey, a noted motorcycling racing photographer, who was that year taking cycling photographs at the Isle of Man international cycling races. The major archive of Alf's other work now resides at the University of Sheffield.
