THE reason l asked is we found several four wheeled trolleys when we moved in to the museum they were marked LNER and had been used in the tannery for moving hides on l think trolleys like this were used by many companies including farmers were l grew up to take milk churns to the road side

WHATS the distance between the wheels it look like the front set of a four wheeled trolley like the ones used years ago on railway stations for luggage
