| Description : |
Campbell and Geoffrey Deland, sons of EC Deland, ride their tricycles in the garden of their home at Blyth. EC Deland was the Chairman of the Blyth District Hospital. Tricycles were safe beginnings for young children; later they would graduate to bicycles. In a further development tricycles would be equipped with a step at the back on which a small child could stand or with a tray in which the rider could carry toys, or perhaps small parcels if he rode his trike to the shop with an adult. Notice that safety helmets were not a requirement at this time. |
