Summary
Pathe synopsis: Have you ever wondered what happens to the old horse-drawn vehicles which the internal combustion engine has forced off the road? The old bakers’ carts, for example. Most of them end in the breakers’ yard but Chelsea artist David Rawnsley has hit on an idea which is giving a new lease of life to some of these old carts. Aided by a team of craftsmen and fellow artists, he is coverting them into decorative garden sheds, mobile refreshment bars, and charming caravans for children!
