Charabancs were named after a French phrase meaning ‘carriage with benches’.
I think this photo which includes my grandfather was taken in about 1924.
I wonder where they were off to? It looks most uncomfortable for a long ride. I hope it didn't rain on them.
I wonder whether this family day out was a works outing or maybe organised by the pub regulars.
Likely to be on a bank holiday?
Are there any transport buffs out there who could identify or date the vehicle?
It was taken outside a pub in Great Hampton Street. Any ideas which pub?
