Description: A cycle race at the Manor Football Ground on Manor Road. While the cyclists themselves are almost wholly obscured by the race officials (perhaps purposely as the shutter speed of the camera was clearly not up to 'freezing' the action), this view does illustrate well the original stand on the north side of the Ground. At this date the Manor Ground was home to Ilkeston United Football Club, who arrived in 1901 and remained there until they folded in 1932. Then, from 1945 it was home to Ilkeston Town FC, but they moved to a new location - the New Manor Ground on Awsworth Road - in 1992. The 'old' Manor Ground was subsequently sold for a retail redevelopment.
