Farm waggon’s have four large wheels, in order to carry heavy loads and give sufficient ground clearance when traveling on rutted tracks and roads. Their designs, though similar, would vary from region to region largely dictated by the different terrain and requirements of the farming in each area, even down to the distance between the wheels. This real photographic postcard is one of my favorites and shows a wagon with a full load of straw bales. With just one horse pulling it is hoped that it doesn’t have to go too far. The disc on the front of the wagon states that it belongs to “George Thompson, Lutton Marsh, Lincolnshire”.
