Printed Ephemera — 1923
County of London - Driver's Licence
The County of London issued this driver's licence to William Albesici on 21 July 1923. The licence was renewed twice: in 1928 and 1930, by which time Mr Albesici had moved from King's Cross to Liverpool Road, north London.
The 1920s saw a dramatic increase in car ownership across London. By the end of the decade, the number of cars registered at London addresses had increased almost tenfold, from 29,000 in 1920 to 225,651 in 1930.
