This rear view of Kershaw's Gilford coach captures at least some of the owner's name on the rear. The tour party are enjoying a break somewhere, including the obligatory pipe.

Coach parties were big business at the time, with every pub, club and social institute seemingly running an annual coach trip. These were the days before widespread personal transport. Some the trips could be quite high-spirited!
