Here’s a letterhead I found from Tommy Hall’s office during the period he was the Olympic Cycling Coach.

Not sure what the International Press Agent part means but it looks like he spent his time training the Olympic squad at the Herne Hill velodrome.

A photo of Tommy Hall pacing an unknown cyclist:

Presumably this post-1914, possibly during his training days.

Here’s a postcard Tommy sent to his sister of him beating the one mile record.

The inscription reads “To dear sister Hetty, from your affectionate brother “Tommy” Hall.”.

Unfortunately there is no date on the postcard and no writing on the back so I guess he never posted it to her but gave it in person.

Here’s a flyer for the 1947 Autumn Circuit races organised by the British League of Racing Cyclists in Battersea Park:

The events were started and prizes given by Tommy.
