Lots 475-487 Alfred Thomas Goldie Gardner (1890-1958) Alfred Thomas Goldie Gardner was born on 31 May 1890 in Woodford, Essex. An early interest in racing motorcycles was interrupted by him joining the army at the start of the First World War where he became the youngest Major in the British Forces. In 1917, his reconnaissance plane was brought down by enemy fire, and he sustained leg and hip injuries that were to hospitalise him and leave him disabled for the rest of his life. He was mentioned in despatches during his tour of duty from 1st July 1916 to the end of January 1917 and was awarded the Military Cross. Despite his injuries, he began motor racing in 1924 and, in 1930, his success brought him to the attention of Cecil Kimber, the managing director of M.G.; there he was able to race various M.G. cars with considerable success. In 1934, in a streamlined K3 Magnette, he accompanied Sir Malcolm Campbell to Daytona Beach and set a new Land Speed Record. In 1937, he went to Dessau in Germany where he created a new Flying Mile Record at 148.5mph. He went on to set further records at Montlhéry in France and returned to Germany later in the year to set new records. With a 200mph goal in mind, he acquired George Eyston's Magic Magnette EX-135 and modified it for the task. In November 1938, he returned to Germany and raised the record to 186mph. With the 200mph target still eluding him, in May 1939 he returned yet again to take the 1100cc record to 203mph, and with the engine rebored overnight he also took three 1500cc Class 'F' records. Following WWII, new Class 'H' (750cc) records were achieved in Italy and at Jabbeke, Belgium. Then, in 1947, Class 'I' (500cc) records were set. In 1948, a Jaguar 2-litre experimental engine was borrowed to set Class 'E' (2000cc) records. Further record-breaking continued at Jabbeke and in the USA through 1950-2, but in 1952 he suffered a cerebral haemorrhage and was forced to retire. On his death in 1958, he was holder of the OBE and had received three BRDG Gold Stars. A medal group of ten WWI and later medals, awarded to Major (Lieutenant Colonel) Alfred Thomas Goldie Gardner RA, MC (awarded 14th March 1917), OBE, comprising: The 1914-15 Star, The 1914-18 War Medal, The Victory Medal, The 1939-45 Star, The France and Germany Star, The Defence Medal, The 1939-45 War Medal, The Special Constabulary Faithful Service Medal, MC, OBE, in a glazed case, together with the cased miniature group

Robinson (Robert) Two manuscript diaries, giving a detailed account of the day to day activities of Robert Robinson (born Nov 1838) from May 21st 1859 to January 31st 1861. Robinson, who married into the Pease family, was an engineer who worked for the Stockton and Darlington Railway from 1858, later setting up his own offices near North Road Station in Darlington. He surveyed the Stockton-Middlesbrough-Saltburn Railway as well as the Barnard Castle and Stanhope Railways. In the 1860`s he designed and built the first bridge over the River Brisbane in Australia and, closer to home, the cart bridge over the Tees at Hurworth. He was also involved in bank strengthening at Blackwell and the construction of the Teesdale reservoirs. manuscript in two folio notebooks (covers well worn), a randomly selected day reads; Thursday August 25th 1859 Up at 5.40. Breakfast. Off by train at 6 to Middlesbrough. J.Ianson with me. Fixed position of frame for Creosote cylinder door. Made survey of rails and gateway to Snowdon and Hopkin`s works. Done. Looked at Staith. Off to get some breakfast at Crown Hotel. Off home 11 train. Went to Hope Town Foundry to see Hudson about some of the iron work. Down to office. Began to plot survey. Finished at 6.30. Went with Sam Rutter to have hair cut then I went to baths and had cold bath and plunge. Home. Read a little of Cassell`s paper and phrenology. Looked a good many words out. I forgot to mention that I had a narrow escape from being killed this morning in going to the station. There was a long train of wagons standing with the engine to them. A guard wanted to be across the way at the same time so we both got on to each a wagon to cross it just as I got on to mine the engine moved on and gave the wagon a jerk and nearly threw me down between two wagons and on the rail. I just had presence of mind to seize hold of the side of wagon as I was going consequently stopped myself. Otherwise I would have gone directly across the rail and been cut in two by the next wagon before the engine could be stopped. I have learned a lesson from that never to cross a wagon which is likely to move unless I find it very needful and then only in the middle. To bed 10.30. Very fine and hot day. [The lot is sold with a typescript of the diaries on CD]
