"Doris, Allan, Fanny, Florrie," reads a homely note on the original print of this jolly women's charabanc outing.

It was supplied by Mr Allan Hindle, of High Spring Gardens Lane, Keighley. He explains that he was the baby being held up on the back row, accompanied by his mother, cousin Doris and Auntie Fanny. The date would be the spring of 1923.

Undeterred by a sensational five-death crash at Oxenhope in 1920, charabanc trips were popular at that time.

Keighley Brothers and the Premier Transport Company drove to Blackpool, Morecambe, Southport and Winder-mere, with half-day runs to Harrogate and Knaresbor-ough.

Anderton Brothers' speciality was Burnsall and Grassington. Ratcliffe and Company, of Haworth, boasted a luxury model christened "The Pride of the Valley", though when Airedale Garages acquired a 14-seater they were able to advertise "pneumatic tyres all round".

Notice the driver here in his raincoat and flat cap squashed behind the lady in the front seat. The folding hood just visible at the back of the vehicle would be raised in the event of rain.
