Papers of George Adam
1909-1989
Personal papers compiled by the athlete,
coach and administrator George Adam. The
collection includes a substantial number of
athletics programmes, many focusing on
events held in Yorkshire. There are also a
number of publications created by various
athletics organisations and clubs;
correspondence; scrapbooks and newspaper
cuttings; and personalia. There is some
material relating to Olympic Games,
including the 1948 London Games in which
George Adam acted as an official.
Taken as a whole the collection is a valuable
research tool for athletics historians,
especially those with an interest in the
history and development of athletics in
northern England, particularly in Yorkshire.
The personal papers of Joe Percy also
include material relating to athletics in
northern England, specifically Yorkshire,
during much of the 20th century. See:

Administrative history: George Mair Adam
was born in Doncaster on 19 January 1989.
He attended the Corporation Schools, Hyde
Park, Doncaster between 1903 and 1911
and was then employed as an apprentice
clock repairer. Shortly afterwards he became
an apprentice fitter and turner at Doncaster
Plant Works, working for the Great Northern
Railway (GNR). He worked at the Plant
Works from 1912 until retirement in 1963.
His involvement with senior athletics began
in 1916. There were no facilities available in
Doncaster and so he travelled to Bradford
every weekend to compete in various races
for Airedale Harriers. As a youth he mixed
athletics with football, swimming and angling.
He ran with his brother Alan at many sports
meetings, mainly handicaps. He and Alan
joined Airedale Harriers in 1918 and took
part in a 'Victory Race' cross-country
meeting at Leeds. As an employee of the
GNR Company's Plant Works he became

one of the founder members of the GNR
Harriers in October 1920 at Eden Grove,
Doncaster. The Harriers later became
Doncaster Plant Works Athletic Club
(DPWAC).
Under George's captaincy DPWAC regularly
performed well in the Yorkshire and Northern
Counties Cross-Country Championships. By
1925 the club introduced track and field
events. George Adam was a notable crosscountry runner at county level but soon
established himself as a hurdler and at 35 he
won the Eastern Region Railway 120 yards
hurdles title. Lord Burghley, a director of the
line, awarded the trophy. George Adam
developed a full range of facilities described
by Geoff Dyson, later to become Britain's
Chief National Coach, 'an oasis in an athletic
wilderness'. He served as Honorary
Secretary of DPWAC for 41 years and set up
a club coaching structure, introduced new
methods of fitness training and specialist
techniques.
The first success under George Adam's
coaching in field events came in 1934 when
Frank Phillipson won an AAA pole vault
championship with a height of 3.73 metres.
Further successes followed and at one time
the club held 25 championships: 11 British
Railways, 2 Yorkshire Schools, 3 Yorkshire
County, 3 Northern Counties, AAA, Empire
and European awards. Les Pinder, Brian
Shenton and Arthur Rowe all benefited from
George Adam's coaching techniques.
George was a Field Event Judge at the 1948
London Olympic Games and also at the
1958 Cardiff Commonwealth Games. At the
1948 Olympics he recalled holding a torch to
enable to decathlon competitors to throw the
javelin in the days before flood-lighting. He
was Team Manager of the British Railways
Athletic Team in 1947, 1956 and 1957. He
organised a 10 day tour of Germany in 1956
when DPWAC competed against German
Federal Railways and the sporting clubs of
Weiden, Nurnburg and Munich. He acted as
coach, team manager, results recorder and

judge for some 50 athletes and officials. The
sequel saw the return visit of the German
clubs to Doncaster in 1958 organised, again,
by George.
Throughout his athletics career, George
worked on developing athletics equipment
including a portable shot circle which
enabled the event to be brought in front of
the crowds at Crystal Palace. He made barlifting and measuring equipment for pole
vault that made step ladders obsolete and
also designed the first hammer in the world
with 'unbreakable' stranded wire. Over many
decades he invented, developed and
improved much athletics equipment
including: 'Optical Measuring Set' for use
with javelin, discus and hammer; 'Telescopic
Bar Lifter' for use with pole vault, eliminating
the need for step ladders; 'Patent Clip';
'Steeplechase Hurdle'; 'Cushioned Landing
Platform' for pole vault, replacing the turfed
mound; 'Safety Cage' for use with the
hammer; 'Portable Circular Platform' for use
with shot and discus; 'Stranded Wire
Throwing Hammer'; and various handmade
instruments for checking field events
equipment including contour gauges, cord
gauges and gravity gauges.
He was actively involved in athletics even
after his 90th birthday. Through him
Doncaster became a centre of excellence for
athletics, especially during the 1950s. As a
long serving official he encountered Eric
Liddell and Harold Abrahams; Roger
Bannister; and Seb Coe. He was associated
with Doncaster Plant Works Athletic Club for
nearly 70 years. He was Club Captain, 19251933 and Honorary Secretary, 1933-1974.
He held a number of other positions
including a member of Sheffield and District
Committee of Northern Counties Athletic
Association (NCAA), 1945; member of the
AAA General Committee, 1950-1988;
Chairman of Sheffield and District Committee
of NCAA, 1953-1955; Vice-President of the
Executive Committee of NCAA, 1955-1959;
President of the Yorkshire Cross-Country
Association, 1955; President of the NCAA,

1960; President of the NCAA Cross-Country
Association, 1969; Chairman of the Counties
Athletic Union, 1971; Life Vice-President of
AAA, 1973-1988; and Equipment Officer for
NCAA, 1978-1988. He received numerous
awards throughout his career including
British Railways Sportsman of the Year,
1966; the AAA 'Award of Honour' in 1979;
and the Council of Yorkshire and
Humberside's Service to Sport Award, 1985.
George married Elizabeth Cooper in 1931.
The couple had no children and Elizabeth
died in 1956. George died in December
1989.
