License plate 175.jpg

This photo is one of a pair without any legend from the collection of Leslie and Cicely Warren. I can recognise the driver as their neighbour, William Whiteley who lived at 16 Broadwood Road from 1923. I can't identify any of the other passengers. They may be from other Broadwood Road families. The boy appears in another photo that I posted at gwulo.com/atom/18038. The legend to that photo misidentified him as Kathleen Hyde-Lay's brother. Who is he in fact, I wonder. Might the road be Tai Hang Road?
