Trackless trolleybuses ran for the last time in Keighley on Wednesday 31st August 1932. From the following day motorised buses provided all the public transport around the town.
Trolleybuses travelled on wheels with tyres but drew their power from overhead power cables. They succeeded the electrified trams that ran along tracks laid on the main roads in and out of the town up until 1924, when the tracks were taken up but the overhead power cables were kept in place.
The colour photograph was taken in the College car park during the Keighley Transport Festival held in June 2022, and shows the restored Keighley No. 5, the Straker-Clough trolleybus that came into service in 1924.
