Following on my photograph of the Leon Bollee at Stony Stratford at the weekend which has created interest in vehicles where the passenger sits in front of the driver, I have access to the archives of our village and we have one or two vehicle related pictures, mostly of Model T Fords and the odd early motorbike.
The photograph below is of Mr & Mrs Fairchild of The Cottage, Poundfield Road, Potterspury about to take a winter excursion in their motorised three-wheel cycle in the early 1900s. Mrs Fairchild doesn't look very happy sitting in front on a cold winter's day!
Note the registration NH 63 - Northampton? Also, for the posed photograph they have placed a small block in front of the rear wheel as a parking brake.
Any ideas on the vehicle?
