Vintage Lanchester at Sion Spring House in Clifton,Bristol

A vintage Lanchester car in front of Sion Spring House, Clifton, Bristol. The House, opposite the upper entrance to Clifton Rocks Railway, is notable for its fine balcony. In the 1780s, the owner of the house was digging a well and found a hot spring, prompting him to set up a pump room. It was not a success but he did later pump the water to a few hundred local houses.
