Itonia was a London based cycle and radio dealership. The driver (and his mate?) were probably availing themselves of whatever the adjacent tea stop had to offer. Parking up at the side of the A40? Definitely a different age.

This is the Waring & Gillow (furniture makers) depository building . The building remained until quite recently, albeit in a quite dilapidated condition and looking unoccupied. It has now gone and the site has been redeveloped. It was Waring & Gillow who started the the Alliance Aeroplane Company who had a factory nearby in what was the Acton Aerodrome site. The Alliance company wound up in 1920.

Raleigh Light Delivery Van. Raleigh, based in Nottingham, had expanded its successful cycle business into motorcycles after the First World War (with a few brief flirtations with other types of motor vehicles), and in 1930 had acquired the rights to the Ivy Karryall, a three-wheeled van using the forks, 348cc engine and fuel tank of a Raleigh motorcycle mounted in side frames which carried a chain-driven rear axle (with differential). Raleigh relaunched the Karryall as the Raleigh Light Delivery Van, or LDV, in 1931, with a 598cc engine and a 5cwt (560 lb) payload.
