Here is a picture of which i believe could be the first official lady roadracing sidecar passenger in Britain, or even further afield, unless proved otherwise. Mrs.Miriam Harris, with her husband Charlie 588 Norton crossing the start/finish line on their way to second place, in the sidecar race, behind Donald Winn and Rancher Stevens 500 Ariel in the 1932 Pendennis Castle Road Races, which was run under ACU Regulations. Their first race at Pendennis was in 1931. These races were the first races to run on public roads in Britain, and the very first roadraces to be staged in the West of England, whether it was road or track.

Over 8,000 people packed the one and a half mile cliff top circuit in Falmouth, Cornwall. Look how close the spectators are standing to the track. No health and safety in those days.
Lap Record holder G.E.Rowley, Sidcup. 348 ohc AJS 1min 44secs. 1936.
