Some interesting pictures

The Wheathampstead Local History Society recently held an exhibition in the village hall depicting the changing face of the high street over the past 100 years. There were very many pictures of local village life in past times. The picture of the motor car is a Lanchester 28 horse power travelling through Wheathampstead. I hope you can just about read the history of it but the flash from the camera obscures part of it. One picture is of fairy cakes with the letters spelling out "Wheathampstead." The mayor of the city of St Albans, Annie Brewster, who lives near the village, opened the proceedings seen here with some old chap, who is he? Might be a cyclist! PS: What an attractive mayor!
