With the summer months drawing to a close, we wanted to spotlight a item in the collection as a final farewell to the sunny season 🐚

This item is a small box in the form of a two wheeled cart in cardboard covered with shells with a wooden frame and handles. Inside the box there is a handwritten label which reads 'Bought on Yarmouth Beach c.1890 with coloured straw animal and rattle.' That makes it over 1

This item is located in the top floor of the manor, next to the 'A Hundred Wheels' room.
