Rolfe 2 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 I was with friends in Norfolk this week and was privileged to sit and have a blether whilst sitting outside their "Reading" type waggon. My two lurchers were standing in front and it just made a lovely picture in amongst the Foxgloves i thought. Does anyone have other pictures of this type as i am facinated by the many and various types of waggons past and present that are still out there somewhere. I am particularly fond of the "Bow Tops" and does anyone have any old pictures of the "Benders" or any other type of old romany pictures they could share. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SJM Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Not a great pic as it is scanned but this is a Yurt that some traveller friends use in the summer when camping out. They also had a bender for the dogs but I cant find the pic of it to scan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Caravan Monster 323 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 A bit ugly next to those Gypsy wagons, but a reproduction of the type of living wagon used by road menders, traction engine drivers and so on. The aussies built much larger ones to accomodate road builders working in isolated periods for long periods. This one is not quite finished yet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
