This plaque is on a tenement just round the corner from us and is the one that started my collection:

Coincidentally, I found another one for him at the HQ for an audax in Huntly a couple of weeks ago:

This is on a house in Crawley Down. He's also listed on the memorial in the village centre, but the blue plaque brings it all a bit closer. There are two more in the same street, next door neighbours and brothers. I found the plaques when I was researching my Tandem Club treasure hunt, and noted the Union Flag was flying at half mast the day of the ride, commemorating, I think, the centenary of one of the deaths listed.  Charles, from the plaque in the picture, died a hundred years ago the day after my ride.

One of the two great bands of the time who got right royally screwed by the business. They should have been huge. The other was Big Star.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.
