J Sanger Jnr coal wagon and carts in Bishop’s Waltham yard. B&W photo, thought to be early 1920s as BW engine shed is still standing. 4 men are standing next to the vehicles, the middle one (assumed to be J Sanger Jnr) holding on to the reins of one of the horses. Both horses have white nose flashes. The coal wagon is a 5 plank wagon, thought to be built by Hurst Nelson (a Scottish builder) from the shape of the axle boxes. Source: Bishop’s Waltham museum
