Image shows a mixed group of young and old seated and standing aboard and alongside a charabanc. The photograph was probably taken around the 1920s when charabanc trips were very popular amongst church groups and factory and mill workers. The name charabanc comes from the French phrase meaning ?carriage with benches?. Coaches, of course, superceded these vehicles. A day outing to the seaside or the countryside in a charabanc would be something special to look forward to in the days before holidays were common place for the working classes.
