HJ Lawson and his wife at the start of the Emancipation Run, Brighton, East Sussex, 1896. A crowd of people stand behind them. The run was from London to Brighton, and was a celebration of the repeal of the Red Flag Act of 1865. The act specified that every car must have at least three persons in attendance; for various reasons including one person being needed to steer, one to work the brakes and one to walk ahead wih a red flag to warn people of the coming car. The London to Brighton run is now an annual event for veteran cars.
