Thank you to John Dickson for commenting on the car near the middle of this photo  -  the one with the long front bumper.

Morris Cowley

"I think this could be a Morris Cowley, 1933 model."

Morris Cowley?

John also sent me a photo of a 1933 Morris Cowley which certainly looked like a good match for the car in the middle of this photo.

1930s

I had originally captioned the photo at the top of this page '1920s''

However, after reading John's comments above, I've changed the caption to read '1930s'.

Thank you to Allan Dodds for identifying three more of the cars.

Austin 20s

"I think that the car on the immediate left and the two on the immediate right of the Morris are Austin 20s.

They are pre-1930 vehicles as they do not possess front bumpers which came out in 1930."

Other Cars

That's all the cars on the front row now identified, apart from the car at each end of the row.
