I have just found that he still had the same car in 1940. Does this record just mean that his current road fund license or something lapsed at the end of 1937? On another post someone was saying that in 1937 a new car cost between £100 and £150 or so. Does that mean that his road license cost £3.18s.9d?

The Common Room / Cancelled Car Registration?
« on: Tuesday 10 June 25 15:25 BST (UK) »
Hi Folks, I am trying to understand the details shown on this record relating to a relative.
Obviously it is to cancel the registration of a car reg CWK971. Would that be because the car was being sold? It shows a date of first registration in 1937 and "Amount Paid" of £3.18s.9d. Would that have been the price of a second hand car or the cost of the license (road tax?)?
A long shot but if anyone could throw any light onto what it all means I would be very grateful.

hanes teulu you are right. Someone has improved it so much for me in the "Photographs" forum so thank you for the recommendation. I never would have thought of that.

Hi Folks, yes I got confused, I thought I had attached the image but it did not appear to be in the post so I tried to attach it again and it said "you have already attached a file with the same name". I am relieved that some of you found it.
Thank you Loord74 that is so much better than the original. I really appreciate you taking the time to help.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / A Poor Starting Point
« on: Sunday 08 June 25 14:06 BST (UK) »
Hi Folks, this is a copy of my partner's late Great Aunt and Uncle, William and Emily Greatbatch taken in 1955 in Coleshill Warwickshire on the occasion of their Golden Wedding. I have downloaded it from FindMyPast Newspapers. It appeared in the Coleshill Chronicle and Advertiser dated 14 May 1955. I am not expecting much given the very poor starting point but I was recommended to try here by someone on the Warwickshire Forum. if anyone could do anything at all with it I would be very grateful. Thank you for looking.

Thank you hanes teulu. Sadly I am not sure anyone would be able to do much with the photograph as clipped from the FindMyPast Newspaper Archive. I will attach a copy here so that you can see what I mean.
