Where it all began to go wrong
Rode into town and stopped along The Backs. King's College in the background with its famous chapel to the left.1927 Sunbeam three speed is the bike. It was here ,and other Oxbridge colleges , that those who destroyed the British bike industry that built Sunbeams and so many other world renowned marques were educated.
Tally ho.
If you look carefully you can make out two punters with their poles going downstream on the Cam from right to left . One has a dark shirt appearing slightly to the right of the Chapel door and the other further to the left in a white shirt. Both are obviously Japanese. They are standing on the rear deck of their punts. Their fellow punters, who are are in the punt but seated and thus obscured by the riverbank , are providing moral support.
