Photograph of athletes, which appears to have been taken just before the start of two mile walk at the AAA Championships at Stamford Bridge. The writing to the side states ' AAA Championships Stamford Bridge Start of two mile walk - Jack Lynch (4) - centre (Poly)'. n.d. 4. Photograph of W. J. Sturgess breaking his own 4 mile walk record in 1896.
