Our gallery of old photos and newspaper clippings about the world of Fen Skating

On these archive pages there are photos and memorabilia from the famous Fen skaters past and present, from the Smarts who produced a world champion in the nineteenth century to the Horn brothers who represented Britain in the Olympics. The tradition still carries on with the next generation of skaters including a direct descendant of the Horn family, Adam Giles, his wife Ekaterina and their daughter Alesja.
