This month we are looking at the changes that are coming to transportation.
An April edition of the newspaper contained a report from the Magistrates Court of a man who was charged with "using a broken down horse" and subjecting it to cruelty. In his defence the man said that the owner of the horse was at home ill and in need of an income. To help out, the defendant had taken the horse and wagon out to do some work not realising how out of condition the animal had become. The magistrate fined him a modest amount and was assured the horse had been restored to better health again.


In the classifieds section a local farmer advertised his pony and trap for sale as he had recently acquired a new motor car as his personal transport.

There are a number of advertisements for various forms of personal transport. Ford is advertising a 'universal car' from E125. Triumph Motors are not only manufacturing motor cycles but also bicycles under the slogan 'a quiet spin'. Raleigh bicycles can be purchased from E5 19s 6d from G Boyle, High Street, Bideford.
