The barn at Cadwell Park

 


Cadwell Park is a well known circuit in the UK. Bill Lomas had a good race in 1950 aboard an over head cam 246cc Royal Enfield "double knocker" built by himself. The barn was demolished in the 1990's but the turn is still known as Barn Corner.



His old shop in Milford is now a listed building.
