Young's Garage, Lincoln, possibly 69 High Street, early 1930s

Young's Garage, Lincoln, possibly 69 High Street, early 1930s
Display showing what appears to be an early 1930s Citroën (as it has right-hand drive, it will have been assembled at Slough, but it looks very similar to the left-hand drive 1932 model shown here). Scanned from a mounted print found in a file of photographs of Young's Garage, Lincoln (who were Citroën agents by 1939). The connection between the photograph and the garage is unknown, although it could be a display in the showroom at 69 High Street, where the garage was located from 1926 to 1939. The building is now occupied by a furniture retailer but it looks as if there was a narrow showroom end on to the street flanked by an arched vehicle entrance (cf. maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=69+High+Street,+Lincoln,+Lincoln... and also a period view at www.flickr.com/photos/jondave/5715085023/in/set-721576134... ; according to homepage.ntlworld.com/stuart.cox/thenandnow/places/highst... the building was originally an arched entrance to Boultham Hall; www.freewebs.com/nicknac3000/aroundlincoln1.htm says that the private bridge that carried the drive from here over the river was removed in 1924). There appear to be parts of a petrol pump on the far left, outside the showroom, which strengthens the possibility of this being 69 High Street.
