Lorry:
Lorries first began to appear on the roads of
towns and cities during the last decade of the 19th century.
These first vehicles were steam powered and were known as 'steam goods
carriers'. Although steam lorries were produced up until the 1930s, lorries
powered by petrol and diesel were also being developed, and were both
firmly established by this time. For farmers and country-based industries,
lorries were soon seen as a convenient means of transporting produce and
products direct to customers and retailers in towns and cities. The early
delivery lorry in this picture is transporting barrels of ale.
