Another great photo, showing the Talbot, taken from near the river bridge, and looking towards Ankerdine Hill. Here you can see the School, and above the school the Alm's Houses and the Nurse's House. Ankerdine almost looks like the Malvern hills, standing proud in the background. Looks like lots of children and a woman with a child in the pram. Also stood by the entrance to the Talbot, I would imagine is the the Landlord and two other men. In the foreground is a motorised vehicle with the driver sat at the wheel. Looking at the direction everyone is facing makes me think that this is motor car is something special that they have all come along to see. The Number Plate was LN 2397, so this vehicle was registered in London, between November 1906 and and March 1908. In the 1911 Census the Hotel Manager was George Knight [aged 65, from Bekesbourne, Kent] and his wife was Mary Knight [aged 60, from Crawley, Sussex] So I would imagine that it is George Knight standing in the Hotel doorway. The 1901 Census, had Sarah Browning as the Licenced Victualer [widow, aged 73, from London, Middlesex] Two sons lived with her, and both were married. Thomas Alfred Browning [aged 34, from London; farmer and corn merchant] and his wife Alice Margretta Watkins. Edward Albert Browning [aged 30, from Stepney, Middlesex; Postal Clerk] and his wife Dora Nayler. Perhaps the vehicle pictured belonged to the Browning family. Henry Joseph Browning [Sarah's husband] died 19th November 1892, aged 66. When Sarah Browning died 23rd March 1909, she was living at the Flying Horse, Knightwick, and was 81 years old.
