Car 175 with unknown passengers.jpg

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1920

This is the second of the pair of photos of the car with the license plate 175. It may be taking part in a rally, as the rear of a similar car is visible. As in the first photo, the driver is William Whiteley of 16 Broadwood Road, neighbour to Leslie and Cicely Warren, from whose collection the photo comes. It is likely to have been taken in the late 1920s or early 1930s. Unusually, there is no legend and I can't identify any of the other passengers.

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?
