What fab pictures ... those lamps!

Great pictures, both of them.
The later one, being well focussed, has excellent detail - is that bike a New Hudson?
It certainly looks as though your Gt. Grandad wasn't planning to hang about, with that big chain ring (50, 52 ?) and open side tyres. I also note that his saddle is a bit higher than the handlebars, so it's not a sit up and beg position.
In fact this bike is quite close to what I was trying to imitate with my Sunbeam roadster, although I've got a 44 ring and no aspiration to speed.
Let me hazard a guess at dates: The Penny must be 1880's and the later one about 1905?
