Snippets: An Early Motorist
James Harold Clay (1885/1962) took delivery of 915 at The Manor House in Thornton in Craven. Yorkshire the year of his 40th birthday. The Clay family fortune can be traced back to 1863 when James Clay (grandfather of J. H. Clay) & his brother-in-law John Horsfall founded the firm of Clay & Horsfall. James Clay had earlier been in partnership with Solomon Priestley in the firm of Clay & Priestley which was dissolved in 1863 when both parties went their separate ways. James Harold Clay later became involved in the mining & chemical industry with firms such as Charnell Soap & Oil Co. Bradford Waterworks & Potts Ghyll Mine. James H. Clay's father-in-law was the cotton magnate Sir Amos Nelson – they shared a love of motorcars as in 1923 Sir Amos had purchased a Silver Ghost Chassis 56HG. In 1903 James Harold Clay was granted a licence to drive a Motor Car as was his brother Bernard. The two brothers were keen sportsmen - Bernard chose golf and Yachts (Bernard once won 1st prize at the Southport Regatta in Lalla Rookh – named after a daughter of Aurangzeb. a 17th century Mughal emperor) and James concentrated on motor racing – both in England and France.
