Outlines the development of horse-drawn vehicles from their inception to the present day. It is an evocation of state and civic dignity, recalling the efforts of magnificent Shire horses and humble but hard-working cobs or ‘vanners’. Mechanical transport has replaced stage-coach, hansom cab and family brougham. This book will assist the identification of different vehicles and describes their purpose, history, working parts and the materials used.
