Dr Gardner was an amazing man. Not only was he the Brooklands circuit Physician but he also founded Weybridge Museum.

That was not all however, as he was also a Weybridge GP and Surgeon, rower, soldier, hospital governor, local councillor and Mayor, archaeologist, historian, expert map collector, forensic pathologist and the inventor of the safety motor cycle crash helmet!

Local historian Steve McCarthy shines a light on this remarkable man and a corner of Brooklands' history that is little known.
