Motorcycle and sidecar
Large twisted bulb horn on handlebars; motor inscribed "MINERVA ..." on crankcase. Location unknown, though shop behind has sign "Fishmongers H. FEY & Co."

William John Graham and his brother Sydney were in business making bicycles until the motor car age arrived when they started as garage proprietors in premises at 56 Church Street, Enfield.  This was the shop and offices; the workshops were at the rear in Sarnesfield Rd.  WJ Graham actually registered the first patent in 1903 for the motorcycle sidecar.

The picture shows Sydney Graham and his wife Beatrice in a Graham Bros Sidecar circa 1906. 

The other business in the background appears to be "JW Booth"
