Enlarged black and white photo mounted on foam board of Bill Wright standing beside the Dornoch Dairy milk cart. He is wearing a check cap, tweed jacket, jodhpurs, boots and gaiters and fingerless gloves. He has a whistle and leather bag around his neck and is holding the head of the heavy horse harnessed to the cart. The cart itself is light and two-wheeled (dogcart?) and is painted decoratively. There are several large churns standing on the back.

I think this must be a later date than "1910" as photo No: 4293 (with him standing on the left) is given a date of "1930". Here he looks older. My mother (who was born in the 1950s) remembers Bill/Willie and his good nature. Comment left on 06 January 2018 at 03:01 by MASIS PANOS
