The Coventry Telegraph is the best Newspaper in the world. Honest.

Just what is that car?
Of course it'll fit; you just need a bigger hammer.

I think it's a parked trailer of some kind, possibly a home made caravan even? But for the caption I would have said the picture was even earlier. The number of TV sets and thus aerials visible on roofttops increased sharply in 1953 due to the televising of the Coronation.
