Photo of Clive Unsworth who lived in Ashton, taken by my dad at Snetterton Race Track in the 1960s. Clive was a local millionaire, his family owned Unsworths Television shop in Ashton. He onced had many classic sports cars, including a Jaguar D Type, which my dad remembers riding in. Other photo's I believe exist, but i've yet to locate them.
