Taxis in Convoy, East Lancs Road
For more than half a century the annual Manchester taxi drivers' convoy to Blackpool was a special day out for hundreds of disabled children which provided a colourful spectacle for onlookers.
The balloon festooned cavalcade began in 1949 when a cabbie was asked to show blind passengers around Manchester. At its height the convoy of taxis attracted more than 100 cabs carrying 200 plus children and attracted a great deal of attention as it headed to Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
This view, taken in 1979, shows the convoy passing Haydock on the East Lancs Road.
