Description: | This costermonger's horse-drawn trolley, complete with baskets and wooden horse harness, was made by G Bayley of Bethnal Green. The Costermonger Tom Bates used the trolley until the 1960s for transporting the groceries and fish that he sold around the streets of Tottenham. Mr Bates also used the trolley to collect his produce from Spitalfields and Billingsgate wholesale markets. The cart was restored and repainted in its original livery by Tom's son, Bob Bates. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | work Transport | Temporal: | 1930-1934 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
