We haven't got much information about this week's offering from the vaults of the Sussex Archaeological Society. We know it was taken in 1891; we know it was taken in the Dripping Pan, and we know it features an Amateur Athletics race: the 100 yard dash, is our guess. It was quite an important event, judging from the number of fans on the banks of what Colin Brent revealed in July's VL Handbook to be probably the oldest English (ie not Roman) sports arena in the country. Thanks as ever to Barbara for the SAS for sourcing this picture.
