Two men push a wooden cart along Silver Street – which is just around the corner from Lewis and Son’s removal company. Put yourself in the picture using the architecture to guess where they were photographed or imagine yourself pushing a wooden cart like this though Barnstaple. What do people use today to transport large items through town?
