More early motorcycling photos...bought for me over the years by my late aunt Flo....and some more from Harry Beanhams album of his travels in 1920's in Victoria and Southern NSW, Australia.

In my last posting I mentioned my late Auntie Flo,  was always on the lookout for little treasures to give my sister and I...
With my interest in motorcycling she often came across small photos in antique shops...

Real early stuff from the 1910 to 1920 period and all UK stuff....
They carry a sticker, "Demaus Transport Photographics, Stagbatch Farm, Monkland, Leominster, Herts, HR6 9DA"..
Either way I acknowledge their involvement, but for  sure my Aunt never purchased from them directly.
I've also done several posts previously on Harry Beanham who, in his early motorcycling days in the 1920's toured northern Victoria and southern NSW, often on an ABC motorcycle or a Brough Superior, many times with friends.
Lets look at another small selection from the several photo albums of his I have acquired.
Harry first.....
Incidently if you've not viewed the early Harry Beanham stuff...type in his name in the search facility on the RHS of this blog.....

Early motorcycling photos...bought for me over the years by my late aunt Flo....

My late Auntie Flo, bless her heart, was always on the lookout for little treasures to give my sister and I...
With my interest in motorcycling she often came across small photos in antique shops...
Early motorcycling photos, which I really haven't scrutinised carefully, nor utilised until now.
Real early stuff from the 1910 to 1920 period and all UK stuff....
They carry a sticker, "Demaus Transport Photographics, Stagbatch Farm, Monkland, Leominster, Herts, HR6 9DA"..
I suspect they acquired them and popped them into the small envelopes with the label, although they may have the negatives.
Either way I acknowledge their involvement, but for  sure my Aunt never purchased from them directly.
So lets view them together.....
Left click on the images to enlarge them, although Google has altered their blogger format such that the images when clicked on are no longer large, assuming you load large files as I do...can't fathom why....
