The first gigs were built around 1780. These were simple two-wheeled light
vehicles drawn by a single horse and seating two people. Though driving tandem, one horse in
front of the other became popular later. This is a very smart turn-out and could possibly be attending a wedding given the presence of the bows. The card has been used and reads "Shall be calling tomorrow" posted in Hornsea, possibly in 1906 and sent to Miss Dunn, Regents Lodge, Hessle. Whether the person driving is the person who has written the message we shall never know but it looks like the location is Hornsea as there is a church in the background.
