For
this post from Blessingbourne Carriage and Costume Museum it provides the
perfect portal into the past and I will be showing you an unique collection of
original carriages and coaches, buggies and a genuine Romany caravan. I have
had to divide the post in 2 and you can see the second part this Wednesday.
I
hope you enjoyed seeing these beautiful carriages and that you will look in
again on Wednesday to see what other things I photographed from the past.
Wonderful. Love that Romany Caravan in particular. I hope that he got the thin end of his wife's tongue...
ReplyDeleteHow interesting, Margaret! The Trap and Doctor's Buggy look mighty uncomfortable. As a young girl, I used to read romantic stories about the gypsies. When I visited England, I noticed an aversion and definite hostility towards modern day gypsies. Have a great day, my friend. Greetings, Jo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful old carriages. I love the colourful caravan.
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing carriages! I love the Gypsy Caravan too!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous collection!!! I love that they are not too 'tizzied' up as well, original interiors and such. YAM xx
Hello Margaret, interesting post and images of the carriages. The Gypsy Caravan is cool. Wonderful images! Enjoy your Monday and have a happy week ahead!
ReplyDeleteQuite a collections. Loved the gypsy caravan. I saw one parked on a lawn when we hiked the Cotswolds last summer.
ReplyDeleteOh! What a great place to explore with a camera! I do love the Romany caravan especially.
ReplyDeleteMargaret I still see one of those gypsy caravans around here from time to time. i think they are genuine travellers who like to do it the old way. I enjoyed those photos a lot. Not sure I'd like to travel from London to Oxford in the stage coach though. It quicker and more comfortable via the motorway.
ReplyDeleteNice post, Margaret. I really like that Gypsy Caravan!
ReplyDeletevehicles have certainly come a long way.
ReplyDeleteooooo how wonderful margaret!!! i have never seen so many in one place. i really like the colors and the suitcases, they all appear to be in very good condition!!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch an interesting post Margaret - I really like the Gypsy Caravan.

ReplyDeleteMargaret,
ReplyDeleteThese are all wonderful vehicles.
Fantastic post and your pictures.
Greetings.
What a great collection of old vehicles! Very interesting! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and becoming a follower! :)
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoyed viewing these older methods of transportation. The caravan, thanks for showing the inside. Wonderful post!
ReplyDeleteSo many types of carriages and buggies! So interesting! When Mom & I visited Ireland we rode with our tour group on a larger version jaunting car...so much fun! Our guide was a delight! And the views! Loved seeing inside the gypsy caravan! I've always wondered what they were like inside! Very efficient design...though I know sometimes families of six or eight would be living in that space!
ReplyDeleteWe've come a long way in travel!
