Edwardian Photo Collection - name Hazelgrove?

[R.Hammans]

  He was buried in Worthing.
    What a wonderful set of pictures. Quite a few of them strike me as pictures of the staff rather than family.

An interesting observation and it is certainly possible, although they must have been very close to the family to be included in their photographs. One of those pictured is - I believe - the photographer, or associated closely with the photographer. There are two glass plate formats in the collection, half plate & quarter plate, suggesting he or she was very keen on the hobby.

The wife’s name was Harriet Jupp. The couple married on 24 June 1841 at East Preston Sussex. His father was James and her father was George.

What an amazing collection. I love these sorts of candid photos!

I found the photos of the dog particularly touching. S/he was obviously a much loved member of the family.

To me there look to be a combination of photos of fairly well do do people as well as servants, as mentioned previously. Some look a bit scruffy and others are well turned out.

The family obviously had a lot of affection for their servants.

Amateur/ hobby photgrapher, looking at the fabrics hanging behind a lot of the portraits? Wonderful.

I’m sure the family can be traced, and with some careful sleuthing it may even be possible to trace living descendants.

I agree, a wonderful set of photographs!

Can you make out what it says on the card in the photo with the cake HP-35? " Every wish for always ... " looks like a couple of names.

A marvellous collection. Edwardian country gentry and their staff.

The photographer seems to have taken a holiday in North Devon.
QL-01 shows the port at Lynmouth with the original distinctive "Rhenish Tower" lighthouse. (It was lost in the 1952 floods and has been replaced with a modern replica.)
QL-02 is a view of part of Lynmouth from the mole near the Tower. The building in the background with the flag in front is an inn currently known as The Rising Sun and still flying a flag on its flagpole.

I suspect the rest of the QL group are taken in the Lynmouth area but do not know it well enough to pinpoint any of them.  QL-05 may be looking at the houses on Countisbury Hill.

It looks like:
Every wish for always

Lovely detailed photos, glass slides, probably somebody's ex pride and joy. Cannot help much on the rest but can advise on the PHOTOS WITH THE CAR.   Registration CP 382 was issued by Norwich Borough Council in 1907. The hyphen between the letters and numbers was mandatory by law on all early registrations, so this confirms a genuine early registration. The picture with the lady shows a French manufactured car with clearly visible de Dion Bouton steering wheel and two free standing engine controls. The picture with the house shows that the car had a low mounted edged radiator without a frame or a logo. This suggests a smaller car, so probably a cca 1905 De Dion Bouton, probably with a 6HP engine. The body is quite fascinating, possibly unique, in having what seems a single driver’s front seat, set to the left, with no front passenger seat on the right. This was presumably sacrificed so that rear passengers can get in via the side door, rather than the normal practice where the rear passengers got into a tonneau via a central door in the rear of the vehicle. Birth of a ‘tourer’ body? Or perhaps the owner had a problem with a leg and needed additional space to keep it straight? Fascinating.
