This is my great great uncle - he also used to dive in flames off of high towers etc into a small tank of water. His daughter Gladys also made a name for herself diving off of piers etc.They toured the various events in the summer season in England.
So strange to think that he could make a living riding a bike of the end of Brighton pier.....followed by a not very accomplished display of high diving.......times change, thank god !!!

It's stunts like this that made people think" there must be some better ways to be entertained" and so they invented television,thanks to this guy.
