The Garden Mystery

Two pictures were sent to us by Michael Ware. They come from the family albums of a certain Dr. Henry Kaye of Yorkshire. The automobile with license plate LC 6860 is -we think- a ca 1906 Mercedes that was photographed at the home of his wife's grandparents (their name was Saville) in the village of Barley, south east of Royston in Hertfordshire. The occupants of the Mercedes are not family members so are presumed to be visiting. The letter code “LC” was issued by London County Council from 1905, but possibly this makes this car a little later in date as it would have taken them some time to reach the 6000's. As in so many posed pictures of the time the chauffeur is sidelined and the owners take the driver's seat! The other car with license plate T818 is almost certainly a 1906 Humber. “T” was a Devonshire number. Although both images were taken in the same garden there’s again no information on the occupants. Do you know more?
