[Old Ned]

Get in contact with the Hull Street Life Museum of Transport. they have the old bikes of all sorts and will hopefully know who to contact. (I'm sure there is a group riding these vintage bikes in the area)
and of course ask OldNed for who to ask.

(I've sent Old Ned a nudge in a pm, he's the Saddle person, I mean Chair person I think of Bygone Bikes and they've just had an event in Sheffield over the weekend)

One of our members (who lives not to far from Hull) is an acknowledged expert on Ordinaries. He restores and rebuilds them - and rides them to the tune of several thousands of miles a year. Please PM me with more detailed photos and I will see if he can shed some light on its origins.

It might also be worth contacting Joff Summerfield if you can find his details.

Google his name to see why...
