Description:A Governess Cart fitted with a detachable hood made by Richardson & Son of Uttoxeter photographed at their coachbuilding works at Heath Road. The business was started by George Richardson, a wheelwright in Bradley Street, when he opened coachbuilding premises at Park Street in the 1840s. The company built a variety of horse drawn vehicles. By 1907 the business began to repair motor vehicles and sell bicycles and by the 1950s was doing very little wheelwrighting or coachbuilding. George's great-grandson sold the business, by then a motor garage, in 1962.
