A Sunbeam location Mystery.(upd. St. Chad's RC Cathederal in Birmingham???)
Steven White wrote us: "The attached photo has been supplied courtesy of Bruce Dowell of the Sunbeam Register, by the UK National Inventory of War Memorials (UKNIWM) - Imperial War Museum who are having difficulty identifying the location of the Cenotaph. (editor: just googling for cenotaphs images doesn't help a lot we learned)
The car is thought to be a 24hp. Sunbeam Tourer of late 1919, possibly registered DA 3815. The photograph is one of a series of at least 15 promotional images taken by or for Sunbeam during 1919/20. They were originally thought to have been taken in the London/Surrey area but could have been taken en-route from Wolverhampton via Birmingham.
Whilst readers may be interested in the car, the UKNIWM would be interested to hear any suggestions about the location."

I have walked all around Kidderminster as I live close and there is a Cathedral with memorials but not the one in the image. Also I dont think that there would have been trams there as the area in question is too elevated.

Thank you for the St Chad's suggestion Ian. I have checked a 1937 OS map and the cathedral was bounded by relatively small streets which do not have tram lines marked, and no cenotaph is marked on the map. I am not familiar with the area but have looked at the building on Streetview. If I have found the right building it is of brick constuction and the general architactural style is not a close match to the building in the photo. Suddly I think we should discount St Chad's but I am very grateful to you for the suggestion. Thank you. Roy

That would certainly either confirm or discredit my theory that this is St. Chad's RC Cathederal in Birmingham. Though if it is that location, the memorial is now gone.
