What does the wording on the side of the truck says?

Can you read the vessel’s name on the cap-band?

Where did your extended family live as that might be a clue?

I'm sorry I can't read all the wording but some of it says 'Farm' and Dacre is the name of a place in the south of England where I think my father went camping.
I can't read the cap-band either.

Most of my family's relatives were from Leeds in Yorkshire but I don't know if any of these were from a different area.

Thanks for your interest.

The only one I recognise instantly is the card for Trojan Records

There's an entry in Kelly's directory for 1927 Richard Sharman, North Woods, Dacre Harrogate ?

Well done Rose. Now you've posted that I can see that the side of the truck definitely looks as if it says North Woods above a farm name.

I think the farm name might be Cave Farm.

There's an old thread on here that mentions the above family

That's great! Sorry about the incorrect location for Dacre. Harrogate sounds right! I think that must have been a holiday location and good friends but probably not members of my family. Perhaps the Sharman family will be interested in the photos. Many thanks Rose and Kate!

I've asked my son to have a look at the photo and he thinks it may say North Woods Game Farm.

Have a look at this house that was for sale. I don't know whether I am just imagining it but I think it could be the same building that the truck is parked in front of in your photo (though obviously done up now):-
