The first type of delivery cart came in to use around the middle of the 19th century and was a gig-like vehicle. The compartment behind the driver was used to store the bread, which was loaded through a door at the back. The rail, which can be seen on top of the compartment was there to stop bread baskets from falling off should additional storage be required. It could be pulled by a single horse or pony, thereby making it a relatively cheap form of transport to operate. This van belonged to Dunn, Bakers and Confectioners as advertised on the side but there are no other clues as to the location.
