A glossy black and white landscape photograph showing a woman carrying a bag of coal on her shoulders with two men on bicycles alongside her. There's a policeman watching and spectators, some of whom are standing on a footbridge that goes over an adjoining road. Written underneath by Beesley is: "The World Coal Carry Championship - Gawthorpe Near Ossett. The Mens race one mile with 1 cwt of coal. The Womens race with 1/2 cwt of coal. Easter Monday."
