Single horse carts

Single-horse carts come into use about Manchester, but among the formers generally with wooden axles, and with the tiers of the wheels in segments. From Liverpool northwards to Lancaster, a smaller cart and lighter wheels are used; and from Carlisle to Dumfries the one-horse cart, with iron axles, and the tire of one ring. Throughout the northern parts of Lancashire, and in Dumfriesshire, a small hardy breed of horses is used, and short-horned English cattle and Scotch Galloways are common.
