Quick shot as I got home, seen nothing exciting, but there he was and thought you would be interested. He has been around for years. Smashing bloke, not like the others scrap men who drive round like bandits, they would take your car off the drive if they thought no one was looking.

Nice thanks for these shots. You dont see this much these days.
I remember an old romany couple in their 70's when i was young, they lived in a victoriana caravan in the woods.

Wow, great shots. Brings back memories. Grew up in NYC. Late 40's , 50's. Vegetable wagons, knife sharpeners, junk men, all pulled by horses. Thanks so much for posting. Great! Henry

Thanks all, we still get a knife sharpener with horse and old stile caravan, he comes and hangs around for a month each year. I also remember the horse drawn coal and grocery carts delivering in my youth. Happy days.

Iremember these rag and bone men when it was the norm.They used to give you a donkey stone to clean the front step with in exchange for a few rags.For all our friends from the States a donkey stone was a piece of pumice stone with a shape of a donkey on it and they where used to clean the front doorsteps of your house. Excellent shots and thanks for the memory.
