Walker Hoadley's caravan

from North East Museums

    cool

    The very distinctive body style was built by Howcroft of West Hartlepool, and they were almost exclusively to be found in the North East, owned by the major showmen who would have been the only people who could afford them. Not many have survived, but we have one that was owned by Randall Williams. The curved top panels were solid mahogany, this is the only one I have seen with the outer edges of the panels painted and the centres varnished, with gold and white lines as a border, it looks amazing.

    Lovely shot and such handsome people. When I was a kid the Traveller names were either Sheridan or McCarthy and when I met a man named Sheridan who was not a traveller I was amazed! These people were very well dressed and very clean which cannot have been easy under the conditions? I love the painting on the caravan.
  • Paula Sheridan said:
    Sheridan, but not a traveller - most of the Sheridan travellers were in the munster area - not sure if they all travelled from Cavan/Longford, the home of Sheridans!! Love the photo - the tea table setting, the ladies dresses and hair do"s -even the boots on the lady sitting makes her look really contemporary in style!

    Swordscookie It is lovely, isn't it? Do you remember this one and this from a while back, Sean? Both were taken by Elinor Wiltshire later the same year, in July...

    Paula Sheridan I think she looks really comfortable in her skin! Would love to know what she was waving.

    Camping in style and with class, something that sadly died out decades ago.
