EDITORS COMMENTS
Motor trip in a Slightly Squat Charabanc, Bournemouth, Dorset - August, 1915 This charming photograph captures the essence of a leisurely motor excursion in the early 1910s. The image, taken in Bournemouth, Dorset, in August 1915, depicts a group of holidaymakers enjoying a day out in a slightly squat charabanc, a type of open-topped bus popular for pleasure trips during this era. The charabanc, with its spare tyre mounted on the rear, is packed with tourists, all dressed in their Sunday best, eagerly anticipating the journey ahead. The driver, wearing a smart cap and a broad smile, seems to be in high spirits as he prepares to set off on their adventure. The charabanc was a symbol of affluence and freedom during this period, providing an escape from the monotony of daily life. Motor trips were a popular pastime for the working class, who could afford to take a day off from their jobs to enjoy the scenic beauty of the countryside or the seaside. This candid photograph offers a glimpse into the social history of the early 20th century, capturing the spirit of adventure and joy that characterized the motor trips of the era. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of travel and the simple pleasures of a day out with friends and family.
