Arthur J. Ridgway
(???? – )
Arthur J. "Art" Ridgway (sometimes spelled Ridgeway and it's unclear which is correct) was a UK fan and fan artist from west London active in the 1940s. He was a member of the British Fantasy Society (BFS), joining in 1942, and a subscriber to Futurian War Digest. He was also a member of the Cosmos Club (CSC).
He may have been a member of the Paint Research Station Science Fiction Library as his earliest contributions to The Beyond was in Winter 1942, predating the formation of the CSC. He continued to contribute both fiction and artwork until #6 in September 1943. Cosmic Cuts v3#5 (February 1945) reported that he had "passed out as a fully trained SBA[1] and is at the moment at Portsmouth awaiting drafting."
He is listed in the Directory of Anglo-Fandom of 1945 although marked "not in touch at the present moment". Hyphen 7 notes an "A. W. Ridgeway" as a contributor to TAFF. That could be a typo or a different person.
