"Regulars" from the Cherry Tree pub, at Little Oakley in a Charabanc for the annual outing to Clacton in July 1924) H&F FC
The "Cherry Tree Mob" Little Oakley, on a Charabanc day trip to Clacton in July 1924
A shiny charabanc, with a gleaming bell ready for the off to Clacton in July 1924, with regulars from Ye Olde Cherry Tree, Little Oakley.
A Charabanc is a large bus, used on sightseeing tours, especially one with open sides and no centre aisle. Day trips were very popular in the 1920's with the arrival or relatively cheap motorised vehicles. It's clearly a "man's world" from this postcard !!
