Dear Anne,
Stuart Warburton, former curator at Leicester City Museums was a
penny-farthing enthusiast and did rally's all over the country -
although he tended to be more Edwardian than Victorian. However, if
anyone else on the list knows his whereabouts and contact details ( I
believe he is still working in the sector) he could probably help, even
if only by pointing you in the direction of someone suitable.
Best wishes,
Jim Butler,
Learning Manager,

Hello Folks
I have been asked by a local school to investigate whether anyone out
there knows of a Victorian enthusiast with a Penny Farthing bicycle, who
would be willing to come into school to educate and entertain their Year
3 & 4 children. If there is one, I shall certainly be booking myself a
place at the back, it sounds fabulous!
Many thanks.
Best wishes
