It takes a bit of work but if you fill in the form like this 5 pages of possible topics come up (incl the one Cat linked to)
You might have to wade through some other info as well but lots of fun stuff to be found

Perhaps the premises of University Motors on Cheyne Walk were, as the 1939 advertisement says, for spares and service? This is 105 Cheyne Walk today.

Hi Simon, thank you. In addition to spare parts and service, repairs were carried out on MG's. In 1933.

Robert,
I think any garage in those days that offered 'spares and service' would also have carried out repairs.

I suspect that this is Miss Bristow’s father .......... note the reference to 102 Harley Street !
Cover image for
Bristow, Walter Rowley (1882 - 1947)
Identifier: RCS: E003905
Full Name: Bristow, Walter Rowley
Date of Birth: 12 December 1882
Date of Death: 10 November 1947
Place of Death: London
Occupation:
Orthopaedic surgeon
Titles/Qualifications:
MRCS 7 February 1907
FRCS 9 December 1909
MB BS London 1908
LRCP 1907
Details:
Born 12 December 1882, son of Henry Joseph Bristow of Bexley, Kent, underwriter, and Fanny Clara Sheppard, his wife. He was educated at Brighton Grammar School, and at St Thomas's Hospital, where he served as demonstrator of anatomy, and house surgeon to Sir George Makins. He was early interested in electro-therapy and was appointed surgeon in charge of the hospital's electric treatment department; later he became chairman of the War Office committee on electro-therapy.
On the outbreak of war in 1914 he became regimental medical officer to the Middlesex Yeomanry and saw active service at Gallipoli, being twice mentioned in despatches. From 1916 he was surgeon to the military orthopaedic hospital at Shepherd's Bush, with the rank of major, RAMC, and continued to hold the post, when the hospital passed under the charge of the Ministry of Pensions, from 1919 to 1923. He was also assistant inspector of military orthopaedics 1916-18, working under Sir Robert Jones, from whose work he received lasting inspiration. Jones was appointed in 1919 director of the newly formed orthopaedic department at St Thomas's with Bristow as his deputy; but the organisation and direction of the department were really in Bristow's hands, and he carried out Jones's ideals and his own with brilliant ability. He was at the same time surgical director of St Nicholas and St Martin Orthopaedic Hospital, Pyrford, and contrived that it should be in effect a country annexe to his department at St Thomas's, with great advantage to both institutions. This hospital was founded by the Church of England Children's Society, formerly the Committee for Waifs and Strays, who renamed it the Rowley Bristow Orthopaedic Hospital after his death (Brit Med J. 1948, 1, 82).
During the war of 1939-45 he served as consultant in orthopaedics to the Army with the rank of brigadier (1941-45). He spared no energy to make the orthopaedic service of the Army as good as possible. He flew frequently to the Mediterranean and Middle East seats of war and also flew the Atlantic on official duty. Some of his best work was done in this capacity. He was awarded the French decorations of Croix de Chevalier of the Legion of Honour, and Croix de Guerre with palm, with a citation à l'ordre de l'Armée in 1946. He was consulting orthopaedic surgeon to King Edward VII convalescent home for officers at Osborne. Bristow retired from the active staff at St Thomas's in 1947 and was elected consulting orthopaedic surgeon.
He served as a Hunterian professor at the College in 1935, lecturing on internal derangement of the knee joint, and gave the Robert Jones lecture on 12 December 1946, his sixty-fourth birthday. He was vice-president of the section of orthopaedics at the British Medical Association in 1931 and 1932, president of the orthopaedic section of the Royal Society of Medicine, and president of the British Orthopaedic Association in 1937. He was an honorary member of the American, French, and Belgian orthopaedic societies.
Bristow married in 1910 Florence, only daughter of James White, LLD, who survived him with a son and two daughters. He died in a London nursing-home on 10 November 1947, aged 64, and was cremated. A memorial service was conducted by the Bishop of Rochester in St Thomas's Hospital chapel on 21 November. He had practised at 149 Harley Street, after his beautiful Adam house, 102 Harley Street, was destroyed in an air raid.
Bristow was a man of abounding vitality; as a student he had excelled at association football, lawn-tennis and water polo; in later life he found his recreation in shooting, fishing, and golf, and was a keen player of bridge. He was a good teacher with much humour and humanity, and a hospitable man with many friends and a love of good living. He did much to lead the developing specialty of orthopaedics along the best lines.

Hi Cathelijne, thank you for the many albums and pictures. It is a pleasure to look at the pictures of the family.
For everyone interested in the Triple M Forum, there are some pre-war vehicles to see. Of course also MG Magna, MG Magnette, ... .
thank you very much

| On phone book evidence, University Motors retained those premises until about 1953/54. Although from 1943 onwards, the entry describes it as a 'Petrol Filling Station' only. The Service Department moved to 7 Hertford St, a mews premises which shared a phone number with the nearby main showroom at 80 Piccadilly. |
