c. 1910
The car has registration number MN 97, there is an almost identical earlier card 63100 (c. 1908) taken from the same viewpoint, also with car and bike, though the chimney pot of the lefthand cottage is missing from that view - rather strange that a new image was needed so soon.
MN97 was a 10-12 hp, Coventry-Humber presumeably hired from the Manx Automobile Co., Limited, Douglas.

c. 1910
Acquired 2001 by Manx National Heritage, the thatched cottages are a well known tourist site, even by 1910 they operated as a tea room during the season (see bench and seats outside). Post 1918 a surplus hut from the Knockaloe Internment camp was re-erected as a ugly woodern cafe/shop next to the small outbuilding. A holiday home was also built about where the photographer is standing. Another Manx Cottage was built along the bay off the picture to the left.
