Peter Craven
Peter & Brian
Received a message from Brian's eldest Daughter:
Hi Jim
I am Estelle and I am the oldest daughter of Brian Craven. I have attached 3 photographs which I think are unique to most sites about my uncle Peter.
The first two are of him and my dad and the third is of him with his mum after receiving the world trophy in 1955.
I Hope you will put up the photos as I am always perplexed as the story of uncle Peter starts by him following my dad into speedway but after that my dad never appears to be mentioned in his life. When in fact they were extremely close and always stayed part of each others speedway career.
When I went to uncle Peter's 40th memorial they told a story of him coming home from ainsdale beach after practice and he was leaning out of the car giving directions in the fog, but they failed to mention that he was giving directions to my dad - Brian. My dad was very proud of Peter he even retired from speedway after his death, and we were brought up as youngsters very close to Auntie Brenda, Robert and Julie.
I hope the photos are of use to you.
Thank you
Estelle.
