This vehicle's licence disc was issued by Derby County Council in December 1934 and expired in December 1935. It is what is known in the UK as a 'traction engine', used to drive machinery by means of a belt, but the licence disc describes it as a 'steam roller'. It may have been fitted with a roller in an earlier incarnation.

Three Greek Gods at Lyme Park

Pediment with statues of three classical gods, at Lyme Park in Cheshire, England. The myth makers had lots to say about them, much of it unpleasant.
At the top is Poseidon (Neptune) the ‘earth shaker’ who took the sea as his domain when drawing lots against Zeus and Hades who took the sky and the underworld respectively. Poseidon turned against Odysseus for blinding his son (the Cyclops) and was active in preventing Odysseus’ return home after the Trojan Wars.
The female god to the right is Artemis (Diana) the sister of Apollo. She famously punished the mortal Acteon for accidentally seeing her bathing by turning him into a stag and setting his own hounds loose on him (with fatal results). She also caused Agamemnon to sacrifice his daughter before allowing the winds to blow favourably for his 1000 ships to sail to Illium (Troy).
To the left is Pan (Faunus). Mostly associated with nature and the rural world, he helped the Athenians at the Battle of Marathon by instilling panic (Pan-ic) into the Persian invaders. This statue seems to have been sculpturally photo-shopped. According to Homeric Hymns, he was born fully formed with horns, beard, puck nose, tail, goat’s legs and was covered with hair.
