These photos sent in by Colin Letchford are of Billy Wells’ pony cart.
Colin says:-
When I was 14 -16 I worked as a pony boy with Billy Wells at the seafront. He gave pony rides next to the Casino. In the flood aerial view you can see the oval track worn by the ponies. I was in charge of Merrylegs, a shetland pony.
She pulled a small cart which could carry six children at 6d a ride. The cart is as it was then but now very delapidated. You can just make out the 6d on the side.
Brought back happy memories.
