ALEC Shuttleworth stands in the doorway of his cycle shop in Campbell Street, Keighley.
A founder member of the Keighley Motor Club, he had opened the Tanfield Garage in nearby North Street in 1912, complete with Keighley's first swing-arm petrol pumps.
Subsequently trading as The Alworth Cycle Company, he concentrated on bicycles, making his own brand of Alworth Cycles in a workshop above these premises and patenting the Tri-Velox gear which he allowed Triumph Cycles to manufacture under licence.
In 1944, while working on precision engineering at Cottingley during the war, he sold out to Messrs Knowles and Sutcliffe, who had earlier taken over the Tanfield Garage.
Alec Shuttleworth died aged 79 at Shipley in 1971.
The photograph has been supplied by Kevin Seaton, of Shann Lane, Keighley.
