Drawing of a person in blue and red repairs a bicycle on a textured background. Text "Gordon Yates" visible. The mood is focused and calm.

British cycling champion Reg Harris was a household name in the 1950s. In 1938 he joined the Manchester Wheeler’s Club based at Fallowfield Stadium. He went on to win two Olympic medals and five World Championship titles from 1948 to 1954.



But who was Gordon Yates, the artist who documented this local celebrity in his heyday? If you know or remember Harris or Yates, in Fallowfield between the 1950s and 1970s, please get in touch and let us know.
