HISTORY

1954
On the 6th May 1954, at Oxford University, British runner Roger Bannister creates history after completing the first sub-four minute mile.
This triumphant moment was immortalised through an iconic photograph in running history.
But it was the gentleman in the background that caught curiosity, a well dressed time keeper sitting unassumingly in the background.
That man was Arthur Vincent, & where his story ends, Florence Blacks begins.
