Barrows

I don't think market barrows in this country ever progressed as far as this one, with the fruit & veg barrows of old being of much heavier construction, involving a lot of timber and iron. More or less extinct now, with such fruit & veg stalls as still exist making other arrangements. Built on the spot out of crates and such like, rather than free-standing mobile affairs. Maybe the difference is that our market traders now work out of vans and lorries, rather than having to push their stock about on barrows.
