Wall of Death shite style

[pompei]

[Justin Case]

Wall of death my arse, this was the real Wall of Death, the legendary Tornado Smith

 

 

 

Assisted by the lovely Marjorie Dare (In real life Mrs Tornado ) and of course Briton

 

 

Briton remained part of the act even when he grew up

 

 

BTW question for Southend viewers, is the Kursaal, where these photos were taken, still there?

Thanks for posting that - my late dad used to tell me stories of WoD riders with a lion in the sidecar ... I thought he was joking

[Shep Shepherd]

The Kursaal is still there (I can see its dome from my courtyard!), although it is a shadow of its former self, as only the dome and facade of the main building remain, the rest of the complex having been redeveloped in the 1990s:

That picture of the lion reminded me of the NASCAR monkey
