I Know that car

Born in Harwich in 1940, I have many fond memories of Church Street both as a schoolchild and as a teenager.   The car parked on the left of the picture is an Alvis estate car which had the exceptionally nice wooden side panelling.  It is parked outside David Wills, the baker, and did in fact belong to Mr Thomas Wills, who I always called "Mr Tom".  It was used for the daily bread and cake run to his sister's shop, who was always known as Miss Florrie, at Tollgate, opposite Ernie Gant's farm. Mind you this was in the day's when bread really tasted like bread...
