Great photo Pom. I remember kids putting Guy Fawkes in those barra's and
chanting "Penny for the Guy". There really wasn't anything to carry larger items in back then except prams which had many lives it seems. I often look around now at all the contraptions for babies and toddlers, so convenient and comfortable. It was different for our Mums with heavy push chairs and other little siblings being dragged along or propposed up on the front apron of the pram.
