Chauffeur and Family
"Here is a photo of my grandfather. He was
a chauffeur for John Menzies. The car (and his family) were accommodated
in Canning Street Lane."
My mother also worked for
Menzies. She told me how she made up the
newsvendor tray for the Waverley Station sequence in Hitchcock’s film,
'The 39 Steps'."

The Car
"I've
checked my Culshaw & Horrobin Encyclopedia, and
I think that the picture with the chauffeur standing outside
the car may be of a 'Siddeley-Deasy', made by a
company which eventually became part of Armstrong-Siddeley.
Here is a
picture of a very similar convertible taken from the Veteran Car Club
of Australia (Queensland) Inc web site."
