The man riding his cycle beside the car looked so familiar, and I firmly believe that it is Mr Timothy (Tim) Towler who was Art and Technical Drawing Master at Huntingdon Grammar School during the 1940s and very early `950s. Tim, as he was called by us irreverent pupils, lived in Godmanchester, and cycled from his home to the Grammar School (now demolished) on Brampton Road daily. He was much loved by all of us, and helped me personally on my career to become an engineering draughtsman both in England and later in Sweden. The coincidence is almost unbelievable, looking at this print in 2011 in Sweden, and seeing Tim from 1955.
