  • Thanks everyone; as for the other two images in this run, we can use your correct identification to update the catalogue for this image and the new record will appear here in due course.

    As for the date of this image; the Register entry is May 1920 and the record is in order in the book - although the subject description is "Birmingham Worseley Motors" (which is why we couldn't identify the image). There may have been a problem with Aerofilms Ltd's original record keeping?

  • I agree with Eton Slaphead about misdating of this photo, but my estimate is mid to late 30s judging by this car.

  • Found this about A Abbott Ltd: A. Abbott - New Street, Earl Shilton
    Founded in 1880 by Abraham Abbott. Makers of women’s medium grade walking shoes, ‘Foot Flairs’ and ‘Highland Queen’ brands. For the duration of the Second World War the building was taken over by the Ministry of Supply. Closed in 1970s.
    Now converted into apartments.

    The Limited company is still in existence and has an address in Barwell, Leics. By the way, the add lat/long doesn't work - this is definitely nowhere near the Orkneys!

  • Hi res, I've just tried putting a pin in for Earl Shilton which someone else identified for this image, the new location seems to have worked. Maybe it just had a hiccup before?

  • Dear res,

    Thanks for your suggestion. Despite the Abbott link I'm not sure that this is Barwell, because when looking at the historical mapping none of the street patterns seem to match the village. The company name and the Everards link suggest somewhere in Leicestershire; do you have any other ideas where this may be?
