May Hill is from Rachael Clegg’s Milestones series in which every single image illustrates an event from the history of the Isle of Man TT Races.

The story:

May Hill was one of several red telephone boxes commandeered by Mike Hailwood’s team members in the 1978 TT. One teammate would base himself here while manager Ted Macauley would hog one at the Grandstand. The team remained in touch throughout the race, keeping the lines open with an industrial supply of coins. Another tactic for Mike Hailwood’s famous ‘Comeback’ TT was to wedge a cut-up tennis ball down his fairing. The ball was stuffed with a sponge which, in the days before tear-offs, served as screen wipe when the Manx flies needed removing.
