This outfit has only been used for doing pics on the beach. They must have done really many of them, because I´ ve one when the putfit was really new and the second one seems to be some years later . It´s always the same background.I guess, this one is from the later period.

I have seen this combination ( not the folks) many times before with other subjects. I think it is a photographer’s prop for young couples to ‘stage’ their own event on during a trip to the coast. Although a London registration, a clue is the very low pressure rear tyre and the ‘sitter’s’ attire. I am pretty sure that the location was similar to many props along the south coast and near to coastal rail links. This one may well be Cliftonville; now absorbed into Margate. The make of the motorcycle is unclear but I shall have another look.
