I can confirm that this is a Globe 12-14 HP made by Hitchon Gear and Automobile Company of Charter Street Works Accy. My great grandfather was Alfred Hitchon the firm's founder. I have deposited copies of the company's press cuttings file that I inherited with Accy Library. A similar picture appeared in Accrington Observer and Times 10 Feb 1907. Alfred Hitchon was also Chairman of Howard & Bulloughs before he retired.
