He was a good mile runner and because of his dark complexion was nicknamed \u2018Darkie\u2019 by the miners who used to bet on his races. I have a copy of this photograph in our family archive, but don\u2019t have any details of the other men. They may have been Fred\u2019s brothers, but I\u2019ve never heard them described as such. I suspect they were other members of the same local athletic club. My grandfather was born in the early 1880s, so I think this dates from the early 1900s.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Image courtesy of Dot Verrill, from a collection compiled by Derick Pearson and many thanks to Tony Nicholson for the information update.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n<p>The title Nicholson Runner\u2019s was attached to this image when it was first made available to the Archive, however no other information was available at that time.
