EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases a fine example of a horse-drawn cab from Huddersfield, Yorkshire, in the late 1800s. The cab, owned and driven by W. Haigh, was a versatile vehicle used for furniture removals, cab services, and daily carrier duties. In this image, Haigh is seen at the reins, dressed in the attire of a cabbie, while a group of elegantly dressed women and children take a ride in the open-top cab. The soft top allows the passengers to enjoy the fresh air and the picturesque surroundings, adding to their Sunday outing experience. The photographer, H. Bamforth, captured this moment with great detail and precision. Bamforth was not only a renowned photographer in this region but also a pioneering filmmaker, making this image even more historically significant. The horse, adorned with a smartly placed whip, pulls the cab with unwavering determination, its wheels turning steadily, the spokes of the spoked wheels casting long shadows on the ground. The cab's stylish design and the passengers' Sunday best attire exude an air of elegance and sophistication, offering a glimpse into the past. This photograph is a testament to the importance of horse-drawn transportation in the daily lives of people during this era and serves as a reminder of the rich history of Huddersfield and its people.
