Very early Chummy on postcard - Tony Griffiths - 05-01-2022
Very early Chummy on a postcard. Currently on eBay - but a tad expensive: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324974588585?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11021.m43.l1120&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=54431efefb1246d893be5cea43e255d5&bu=43060434130&ut=RU&osub=-1%7E1&crd=20220104054815&segname=11021&sojTags=ch%3Dch%2Cbu%3Dbu%2Cut%3Dut%2Cosub%3Dosub%2Ccrd%3Dcrd%2Csegname%3Dsegname%2Cchnl%3Dmkcid
Never mind - here it is cleaned up. Click the image for a higher resolution copy then click again - the detail is pretty decent.

The registration dates the car to January/February 1924.

It’s very nice to have the comparison — the softer look of the road back in the twenties, the way it feathers into the verge, against the much harder looking tarmac and sharply defined pavement.
I sort of like the way it used to be.

It is intriguing to see how buildings survive in the UK. brick is not a hazard and few wooden. As a visitor the token roundabouts were surprising. An insignificant blotch of faded paint makes much difference to how traffic on right has to be treated. Here near always have a raised centre and signs .

Wonderful postcard image - taken from a glass plate photograph.
So much better than the interminable phone pictures (from which no one can ever locate the picture they must show you
)
