In February 1914 Charles Farndale was a
licensed victualler at Bramham, half way between Leeds
and York, and was involved in an incident in which he was thrown from his horse
and trap:
Yorkshire Evening Post, 21
February 1914: TRAP
HORSE TAKES FRIGHT AT A TRACTION ENGINE. BRAMHAM MOOR INCIDENT. An exciting
incident occurred the meet of the Bramham Moor hounds at Wighill
yesterday. A second fox had been found in Wighill
Ings, and horsemen were galloping down the road from Wighill
church into the village, which was filled with motor cars and a traction
engine, when in excitement a horse in a trap took fright at the traction
engine and bolted. It collided with the buggy driven by Miss Smith,
daughter of Mr Tom Smith, the ex Huntsman,
and in which were also seated Mrs Busby, wife of the vicar of Walton, Boston Spa,
and another lady. This trap then collided with a trap driven by Mr Charles Farndale,
licenced victualler, of Bilborough, with the result that the occupants of
both vehicles were thrown into the road. Mr Smith's horse jumped clear of the
trap, but Mr Farndale's horse fell. Several lady cyclists had narrow and
narrow escapes, the runaway horse just missing them. No one was seriously
injured.
Leeds Mercury, 21 February
1914: BRAMHAM HUNT
MISHAPS. RUNAWAY HORSES CAUSE EXCITING SCENE IN VILLAGE. There were remarkable
escapes from serious injury at Wighill, yesterday, by
occupants of traps and lady cyclists on the road at the meet of the Bramham Moor
Hounds. Hounds had found their second fox in Wighill,
Ings, and horsemen were galloping down the road from Wighill
church into the village, which was filled with motor cars and a traction
engine. In the excitement a horse in a trap took fright at the traction engine, and bolted. It collided with a buggy driven by Miss
Smith, daughter of Mr. Smith, the ex
Huntsman, and in which were also seated Mrs Busby, wife of the
vicar of Walton and another lady. This trap then collided with a trap driven
by Mr Charles Farndale, a well known
licenced victualler, of Bilborough, pulled off the wheel, threw over both traps,
and pitched all the occupants into the road. Mr Smith's horse jumped
clear of the trap, but Mr Farndale's horse was stretched on the ground.
Several lady cyclists in front of in front had narrow escapes, the runaway
horse just missing them. Luckily there was no serious result.
Bilborough is a district
in west Nottingham but there is also a Bilbrough between York and Tadcaster, so
he must have been from there.
