Cleveland - Garage Kar Mark Showroom, Amersham Road, Chesham, Buckinghamshire HP5 1NQ circa 1953
I haven't a clue where this was taken but there's a good chance it was taken in 1953, the year of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The union flags, the bunting and so on, along with the age of the cars and the style of Cleveland branding makes this all seem quite likely. If anyone happened to recognise where this was I'd love to know.
Thanks to Roger, see comment below, location now found - Chesham, Bucks. The garage still exists in the present day, now a BP branded site, but the house behind is still there and makes it quite certain that the location is correct. See way down the comments for a contemporary image of the same place.
