About
Co-founder of Our Town Story. If you have any questions about the site, or wish to provide feedback, please visit the Admin forum and post in the appropriate place - we'll do our best to help you out as quickly as we can!
We really want Our Town Story to be an album for your old photos, to fill in the gaps in the history books of our villages, towns and cities. We would also love for those pictures to be able to help others - for instance by using reminiscence therapy in treating dementia .
We're still a work in progress, and we appreciate all suggestions and observations!

Image Details
An early motor car in the Mitchell Motor Works and Garage at 114 Old Wardour Street. Mitchell Motor Works and Garage was built in 1906 and offered 5 storeys of space for customers to 'garage' their vehicles, which were moved by a system of lifts and turntables, above their motor works.
The garage facility was aimed at Soho's theatre-goers, as commuting any great distance by car was still relatively unknown. The Mitchell Motor Garage commissioned this photograph.
