Place: Matlock
Property / Street / Road: -
Date: 1910 - 1914
Description/Historical Information: Chauffeur driven car owned by William Furniss, with one male and one female passenger [same couple as in VLA4939], undoubtedly a bride and groom. They were part of a wedding party, and were photographed outside the family home. They can all be seen in the front garden in VLA5053 and VLA5055.
The vehicle was a Belsize [Four-Cylinder?] Car with Hood, Windscreen, horn, wire wheels (including a spare) and four Electric Lamps. The smaller lamps are on the scuttle or bulkhead which contained a fire wall. There is what is possibly a tool box on the running board. The vehicle was built by Belsize Motors, Ltd., of Clayton, Manchester. Its registration number can't be read on this image, but it was N5028.
