Fysisk beskrivning
1 wagon: wood; metal
This wagon's wheels, with wide rims and protruding nails, keep it steady on Shropshire's heavy clay soil. The wide open fields of the county also allow for a larger body, to carry heavy root vegetables. This design has its drawbacks - Shropshire wagons needed a lot of space to turn around.SHROPSHIRE BOX WAGON. This Shropshire box wagon was built about 1915 at Bishop’s Castle by Mr Cadwallader.
