Mr Leath and his waggon near Bridgnorth 1912 (image)Carrier wagons like that in the picture were needed to transfer goods from railways stations to farms and other places. This waggon has been designed with a "harvest ladder" at the front to make it easier to tip heavy loads into it. (Image courtesy of Shropshire Archives) Photo provided by Mr T.H. Leath (For further information see "The Working Countryside 1862-1945" by Robin Hill and Paul Stamper, Swan Hill Press 1993) |
