This Shropshire box waggon was built about 1915 at Bishop’s Castle by Mr Cadwallader. It was used until the middle of the twentieth century in South Shropshire.  It’s broad double straked wheels gave grip on steep slopes. Straked wheels have ‘shoes’ of iron nailed around the rim. Shropshire waggons are traditionally painted yellow.
