Dales taxi? - Hawes

Dales taxi?

Dales Taxi?

I was in a car park on the A1 near Wetherby when a man with a cockney accent asked me where the "nice villages in the mountains were". First trip north I asked him and he said yes. I think it will be a bit old fashioned when I get there he said! So here for that man is a Dales taxi. Used of course in series like James Herriot which still make people think the 1950s are alive and well here.
I wonder what the man thought when he found the Dales just as modern and probably a lot more affluent than where he came from? This wonderful old car is available for hire in Hawes and when not in use it stands in the middle of the village outside the Bulls Head Hotel.
