Description:This photograph taken at a garage repair workshop or motor hire business is thought to be in the Burton-upon-Trent area.

This posed photograph has a lot of activity in a small area. The vehicles in the scene which include a Daimler in the centre are in various stages of maintenance or repair. The workers are demonstrating their up-to-date compressor driven tools. However, the flatting down of the vehicles’ paintwork and paint spraying are unlikely to have taken place in such close proximity or at the same time.

Please contact us if you recognise anyone in the picture or the precise location.
