Brough Superior and other cars (coachwork by Clive Atcherley)<\/h2>\n

\"Brough<\/p>\n

William Clive Atcherley, known as Clive or W C Atcherley, produced coachwork for a wide range of motor cars from the 1920s onwards. However he is best known for the\u00a0coachwork he provided for the\u00a0Brough Superior<\/em> cars of George Brough (who was himself better known for his Brough Superior<\/em> motorcycles). Currently (May 2016), there is a beautifully restored Brough Superior available for sale, and I am grateful to Peter Gibson for giving me permission to use his photos of the car here. Check out the Car and Classic website<\/a> for more information – and more pictures – of this vehicle.<\/p>\n

\"Brough<\/p>\n

Other motor car manufacturers for which Clive worked include Alfa Romeo. Below is a composite image of one such car, and the manufacturer’s plate on the body. In this case, it was Clive and<\/span> his brother Robert Clifford (“Cliff”) Atcherley who were responsible for the coachwork, as they worked in partnership in the early years of the business. The man in the driver’s seat is none other than Cliff’s grandson David Atcherley, who bought this classic car earlier this year and who gave me permission to use the photo on this website..<\/p>\n

Paintings by Ethel Atcherley<\/h2>\n

Ethel Atcherley (1864 – 1905) was a talented artist who produced many delightful\u00a0watercolour paintings of\u00a0British landscapes. I can share an image of one of those paintings, Warkworth Castle,<\/em> here, thanks to Martin Atcherley.<\/p>\n

Paintings by Henry Mount Langton Atcherley<\/h2>\n

Henry Mount Langton Atcherley was the son of Lieutenant\u00a0William Shairp Langton Atcherley, and a grandson of Captain James Atcherley (both of the Royal Marines).\u00a0He made his way to New Zealand where, after fighting in the Maori wars, he worked as a Government surveyor. He supplemented his income by the sale of his marvellous paintings of New Zealand (and also Australian) scenes.<\/p>\n

\"Atcherley,<\/p>\n

The picture above, painted by Henry in 1864, is titled Redoubt, Maketu, Bay of Plenty, N.Z. and comes from the Collections of the Alexander Turnbull Library website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tea tins by Atcherley and Dawson<\/h2>\n

Atcherley and Dawson tea tins, particularly early examples, are much sought after by collectors. The company was established in Australia by Stephen Atcherley and Thomas Dawson, and it continued under their names for many years after their deaths. The image below is adapted from a photo kindly provided by (and\u00a0\u00a9 copyright of) Carol Manttan.<\/p>\n

The story of Stephen Atcherley is included on this website as An Atcherley in Australia<\/a>.<\/p>\n
