The Bicycle
Early bike photos of Pembroke have been difficult to find.
CORBETT'S BIKE
 |
The photograph below belongs to Peter Hurlow-Jones and shows his great uncle Corbett Stephens pedalling a bicycle to which is coupled a passenger’s wicker chair mounted between two wheels the same size as those on the bicycle. |

The Family Firm of J & A Stephens sold bicycles as can be seen from the memorandum pad below. |
THE DURLEY PEDERSEN
|
Another early bike tale from Ian Campbell whose uncle owned Campbell's Garage sited in Main Street. |
MY TRIKE
|
As there appears to be a dearth of bike photos I'll tell you about one of my own. This photo must have been taken around 1953-4 and shows me on my trike – a sturdy little first vehicle for children having 3 large wheels. Very stable unless you whizzed around corners too fast – as you did! |
