Here's a bike on Manchester St, Feilding. I took this photo on Friday night after a very nice dinner at the very nice Vietnamese restaurant, Saigon, on Manchester Street.
I thought to myself, Manchester Street? Bicycle? This could be the very spot.
To recap from an earlier edition: on a February night in Feilding in 1910, a leading light of the town, Mr William Sandilands tragically lost his life here in a collision with another bicycle. How on earth, this newsletter asked, do you get two people on bikes in a deadly collision on Manchester Street? Nothing dangerous ever happens there. The full story is here.
