More about this scene
A party, dressed in their finery, with the ladies in large flowery hats, are on an outing on a coach owned by the millionaire Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt. His fortunes stemmed from his family's involvement in the expansion of New York. Although his business was in banking and railways, his great love was coaching, and his coach travelled daily to and from Brighton.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
My grandfather worked as a chauffeur and then a gardener for a family called Edwards who lived at this house in the 1930s and 1940s. My grandfather had a cottage in the grounds. When we visited and the Edwards were not at home, we were allowed to play on the lawn at the back of the house.
My great grandparents lived at Birdhurst House - now demolished - and although I have family images from the garden, I have never seen a photo or painting of the house itself. Does anyone know where I might find one?
My grandfather, Cecil Carter and wife Winnifred Carter were owners of a fish and game shop during the second world war. I would like to know the street name and the name of the shop. The shop was located in Reigate. The fish was loaded onto trains and brought to Reigate and then delivered on carts to the shop. Does anyone out there have photos of the shop? If someone can help me, I would greatly appreciate the assistance.
