Transport Through the Ages

[fred1951]

I was wondering if anyone would like to contribute with transport photos.

There was one thread some time ago, where a member showed us some fantastic photos of wagon and horses in the gold rush (I think).

I have a couple of pics, to start it off, here is one of a Humber, it says 1903 on the back but I'm not sure if thats the age of the car or the age of the photo.

I think this photo was taken around the early 1900s in the same grounds as the Humber.  She does look a little scary, it's the eyes  , I think she might be wearing a monocle.

This photo was taken in the 1920s

This is my Grandfather (at the front on the right with the high collar) on a works outing early in the First World War.   He worked as a motor mechanic for a company called Suttons in Manchester. I think he was  only about 15 or 16 when this was taken

Hi Milly,

Thats a lovely photo, those horses must have been very strong to pull all those bodies

Hi Lemon that is a very interesting article I wonder if any of our members are related to this vet or the elephant trainer, a little different to the normal Ag lab profession!

Hi Freddie....

I've surprised myself spotting this...but I think it's Llandudno in North Wales.    Check out these pictures and you can see the hotel on the end (Think it is the Grand Hotel).  The Pavilion next to it which is not there in the modern photos and the writing on the sea wall which is still there...

This is my grandparents and their five children in the 1920s. I have no idea what sort of car it was.
