Hand Carts and Variations
June 22, 2011
Hand carts of various descriptions have been integral to the movement of goods in markets and their surrounding areas for thousands of years. The young man eating his lunch at Whitechapel market is flanked by two traditional hand carts. They are probably around a hundred years old but have now disappeared altogether from East London markets to be replaced by much less reliable trollys.
