Entry in Bentley Village, A History A ride down memory lane recalling top cycling times Doncaster Free Press 13 June 2019

Visitors enjoyed a ride down memory lane at a display exploring Bentley and Arksey's rich cycling heritage. Eileen Miles was amongst those who contributed about cycling through the years. She said: "I was born at No. 1 High Street, Arksey, in 1942; when I was nine months old, I moved to 36 Winnipeg Road, with Mam and Dad, Flo and Jim Bowmar. My Dad worked down Bentley pit, my Mam worked at Peglers. I got a three-wheel bike when I was four and I learned to ride it in the garden, up and down the street. There were hardly any cars so it was very safe. My dog was a Pomeranian called Danny. He was very naughty when he first came to live at our house, he used to bite me! but I kept playing with him and after a while he would ride in the basket in my bike and I also used to dress him up in my doll's clothes and take him for a ride in my doll's pram. He was very good and stayed in the bike basket or doll's pram while ever I stayed on the same side of the road as our house. If I crossed over, he jumped out and ran home. I continued to ride a bicycle for fun and to go to school until I left Bentley High Street School when I was 15 years old."
