I once asked a retired policeman if it is possible to look up old number plates to see who once owned a vehicle and he told me that no such database existed. A pity, as it would be another good resource for us to look back and see the kind of lifestyle people were enjoying [or enduring] back in the day. I think this is a Ford Prefect and it is parked outside the White House in 1957. Makes you wonder if it was the publican’s motor?

Right, I have had a quick look and have found these:
Royal wedding at The White House!
Does anyone recognise anyone in the pictures?
I have the red and white stripey top, and I remember the small boy at the front being called "Little John"

And domino evening at The White House. There were many of these! Again, does anyone recognise anyone? My dad Bern is in the middle wearing the green jumper
