Agreed, it is a little odd that the family did not know of the collection. Surely even just talking to him when he was alive would have found something out. And by the looks of the bikes they weren't all simply hidden under tons of rubbish.

Nice collection though, I doo like the older British bikes of the 30s/40s.

I spoke with someone recently who didn't know that his dad had rented a council lockup for over 40 years, with a car (also unknown to the family) sat in it, out of use.
