Snapshot of days as chauffeur
Saturday 23rd February 2008, 11:40AM GMT.
This photo is in a family album in the ownership of Mrs Grace Edwards of Wellington.
The written caption says: “AW 1171 Armstrong Whitworth 1912-13, 17.9hp, outside Charlton Arms, Wellington. Photo 1920s. Owned Horsehay Co, previously H. Simpson, Horsehay Cottage.”
So that gives you everything – the registration, make, year, and horsepower of the car, who owned it, and where and approximately when the photo was taken.
Mrs Edwards’ father-in-law Bill Edwards, of Horsehay, joined the Horsehay Company in 1916 and was chauffeur to Mr Simpson.
