The driver may possibly be Arthur Edgar NEWMAN, coachman/chauffer to the CASTELLAN family.  The photograph was kindly provided by his grandson, Ian Sheppard, who writes:

One of the cars he drove was a Delaunay-Belleville - "my old Delaunay" - and he went to France in it as chauffeur.  He would also joke about a mythical car called the "Rolls-Canardleigh" - so called because it rolls down one side of the hill and canardleigh get up the other!
