Now a regular feature of the TT and Manx Grand Prix, Bill Snelling’s annual photograph exhibition will once again be held at the Laxey Woollen Mills.
Featuring a range of shots from historic to recent, both quirky and fascinating, the exhibition will run in the Hodgson Loom Gallery daily throughout TT fortnight from May 27 to June 8 including Mad Sunday.
Taking centre stage in the gallery as part of the display this year will be the Lonan Gentlemen’s Fellowship’s Manxman - the bike which took the team to two world speed records at the Bonneville Salt Flats last year.
‘It will be a bit of a challenge getting it up the steps into the gallery,’ Bill said.
‘But they have taken the swinging arm off it which should make things easier - it’s full of lead!’
The exhibition features around 150 photographs taken from Bill’s TT Fottofinders archive of TT, Manx Grand Prix and other two, three and four-wheel motorsport around the island.
In addition also on display will be a selection of artist Peter Haynes’ paintings of TT racing scenes.
There is plenty of parking at the back of the gallery which also boasts a tea room. Admission to the exhibition is free but a donation to the Manx Grand Prix helicopter fund would be appreciated.
