Carriage No 1 built 1897 in Worcester
Alderman Allistons 1898 carriage.
The new coach in Worcester.
The Sherrif of London’s carriage built 1887.
The very high body allowed the
front wheels to turn underneath so Londons narrow street corners could be
negotiated.A bit wobbly for the passengers compared with a low slung coach.
There are records of sea sick coach passengers!
The Lord Mayor of London’s Coach in the Worcester Yard where it returned
every year for refurbishment, probably on a Great Western Railway low loader
to the Butts North Quay line.
It is a great shame the superb Showrooms were destroyed by Kay’s when they would have made a marvelous City Museum for the larger exhibits.
London Showrooms in Park Lane.
The wonderful Showroom and Gallery in the Tything.
