Image 9: One of the trolleybuses purchased by Keighley Corporation in 1924 to replace its worn out tramcars and unserviceable Cedes-Stoll trolleybuses was this vehicle – a Brush-built 32-seater body mounted on a Straker-Clough chassis with BTH electrical equipment and a BTH 247 40hp motor. Number 12 (registered as WT 7108) with its vertically mounted trolley poles only lasted in service until 1931, when Keighley Corporation ceded control of its municipal transport operations to West Yorkshire Road Car Company. The body and chassis ended up as a holiday home in Grassington for many years before it was acquired by Beamish Open-air Museum in 1988. It is currently in store, awaiting restoration once funds allow. Photo: https://beamishtransportonline.co.uk/transport-stocklist/buses/keighley-trolleybus-12/
