A real man's barrow

       Hand-built and hand-made by the local carpenter, a 'bespoke' wheelbarrow that is still in use sixty years later, apparently he used to make brilliant steps, ladders and stockyard ladders too.
       On this big old bruiser of a barrow only a new wheel has been added, well we can't believe that one is the original because it looks as if it has come from a traditional builders wheelbarrow that's rusted and rotted away. Even the paint is the original paint too, in fact everything bar the wheel is original, not bad going Mr Carpenter.
      It weighs a couple of hundredweight so that it can carry that load and many others without buckling under the strain and it's somewhat ironic that it is full of wood to be split for kindling.
      Why didn't they paint it Norfolk Bog Door Blue? It's not even finished in that other heritage colour Norfolk Green Privy.
