Dr Tim R Nicholson FRGS (historian of cycling, road, and motoring maps; of the Ordnance Survey; and erstwhile keen vintage motorist) died of a heart attack, I am informed, on Tuesday last, 16 June 2009. His funeral will take place this coming Friday, 26 June, at 10.00 hours at St Marylebone Crematorium, East End Road, Finchley, LONDON N2. This is adjacent to Christ's College (east side of North Circular Road); nearest London Underground station - Northern Line on High Barnet branch - is Finchley Central (next nearest station, to south, is East Finchley).
