A Scene of Excitement: Tourist Excursion Gathers Momentum outside the White Hart Hotel, Menheniot, Cornwall, circa 1910 This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of a tourist excursion about to set off from the picturesque village of Menheniot, Cornwall. The scene outside the White Hart Hotel is filled with a sense of anticipation and adventure, as travelers prepare for a day of exploration and discovery. To the left, a Milnes-Daimler chassis-equipped Jersey Car, or charabanc, is readied for departure. The charabanc, a popular mode of transportation for group travel during the early 1900s, is easily recognizable by its distinctive open design and seating arranged along the sides. The driver, dressed in a smart uniform and peaked cap, is seen checking over the vehicle one last time before setting off. Beside the charabanc, a Great Western Railway (GWR) bus waits patiently for its passengers. The GWR, a major British railway company during the 1910s, was known for its extensive network and reliable service. The bus, with its closed body and large windows, provided a more enclosed and comfortable travel experience compared to the open-topped charabanc. The excited travelers, both men and women, are seen gathering their belongings and preparing to board their chosen mode of transport. The women, dressed in their finest hats and dresses, add a touch of elegance to the scene, while the men don various caps and suits. The sense of camaraderie and shared excitement is palpable, as the group prepares to embark on their day trip, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
