The Four-in-Hand Club, London
The Four-In-Hand Club, a coach driving club, was founded in April 1808, by Charles Buxton, the inventor of the Buxton bit, along with some friends. The Club regularly drove as a group to Salt Hill, where they spent a convivial evening and the night, before driving back to London. The FHC encountered difficulties in 1820, revived in 1822 with slightly different club rules, but only lasting until 1826
