The Common Room / Re: Phil Taylor - Ice Skater
« on: Saturday 08 July 17 08:56 BST (UK)  »
Hi, my great grandfather, Sidney Charlton, used to skate with Phil Taylor. I have photos of them together. Sid also joined the Canadian Army. They seemed to have had a double act on ice, which they performed away from competitions, in theatres across England. Sid had a colourful career, including skating on stilts and barrel jumping, instructing in Switzerland, and at Streatham Ice Rink where he was floor manager when it opened in the 30s.
