the breeding lofts, this hen can only be described as one in
a million, a breeding hen that will be remembered for
generations. In Bill’s own words "In my opinion the best
hen ever to be bred from Champion Blue Gem" this is a
bold statement when you consider the many, many
outstanding top class pigeons which have won or bred
winners in over six generations of winners from Double
National Winner "Blue Gem".

housed at the partnership loft of
Bill Heslop & Evans. The above family of pigeons which are Karel Herman

miles to 500 miles they have the ability to win on fast days or slow days
what ever the weather. Mark &
Dick have also introduced the Vandenabeele / Minderhoud pigeons into Bills
loft which have already
shown great potential and over the next few years they believe they will
play a large part in Bill’s top
performances.
The loft of W. Heslop & Evans is also well known for breeding outstanding
pigeons for other fanciers,
around the U.K. Bill himself receives endless telephone calls, reporting
winners at all levels of
competition. Typical example of this was on the 20th September 2003 in

Please Note – Due to the Up North Combine rules W. Heslop & Evans can only fly as W. Heslop. Because the rule states any
partnership must race to the shortest fly loft, which would be the loft of Mark & Dick. This is also not allowed because Mark
& Dick’s loft at Whitley Bridge is outside the U.N.C. radios. So all result will show just the Name W. Heslop, Brotton.
