FOUR female globetrotters tackled the North of England and Scottish section of their world tour aboard a London taxi built in 1937.
They arrived in Westhoughton in 1954 en route for the Lake District so that one of the quartet, Canadian Marion Boyle, could meet a pen pal, Jean Burian, of Birch Avenue, for the first time. The girls, from British Columbia and Australia, later went on to take their taxi into Europe.
