EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures more than just a snapshot of Ernie Thomas on his Velocette during the 1933 Junior TT race. It offers a glimpse into the social history of Ramsey, showcasing the magnificent Victorian Town Hall and fire station that once stood proudly in this charming town. Built in 1895, this architectural gem served as a symbol of community pride and civic responsibility. However, as time passed, progress demanded change. The majestic structure seen here has since been demolished not once but twice, making this image all the more precious. It serves as a poignant reminder of how our surroundings can evolve over time. Beyond its historical significance lies the spirit of racing embodied by Ernie Thomas astride his powerful Velocette motorcycle. This picture encapsulates an era when speed and adrenaline coursed through Ramsey's streets during the exhilarating TT races. As we admire this remarkable photograph, let us reflect on the passage of time and appreciate both the tangible heritage lost to demolition and intangible memories preserved within these frames. May it inspire us to cherish our own communities' unique histories while embracing progress with open arms – for even though buildings may come and go, their stories continue to shape who we are today.
