Sidney Smith is seen with his
children Barbara and Eddie and
their Morgan three-wheeled car.
When Sidney Smith drove his
Morgan up Saltergate Bank, it
travelled slow enough to enable
his children, Eddie and Barbara,
and their cousin Freda Rogers, to
jump out of the car and climb
back in as the car was moving. It
proved a great game for the
children, if a little dangerous.
