Hi, Listers! I too have been fascinated by the holiday thread. In the early 1900s my family used to frequently visit rellies in Penrith, Cumberland, which is quite a distance from Brum. Their side also visited us in Small Heath. I do not know how we got there, but we did have a motorcycle with a sidecar in the 1920s, but when we first got it I do not know; I have a picture of it in St. Benedict's Road. Generally, Weston Super Mare was our holiday/vacation destination, by train, motorcycle and sidecar, and after WW II, car. After WW II, Weymouth became popular. For day trips in the early 1900s, especially with the Plymouth Brethren Church, they went to the Lickey Hills, Evesham, Stonebridge, Hampton in Arden, and Kenilworth. Many could be safely bicycled to, especially before the days of heavy car traffic, caravans and coaches. My Dad in the late 1920s often cycled 100 miles in a day, so all would have been in reach for him, including WSM, though he would have to stay overnight. All the best, David (Beecham) PA-USA, where temperatures of 95 F and high humidity is going to make playing tennis a hot prospect this weekend. **************Get fantasy football with free live scoring.
