Where are all the coachbuilt prams?
Where are all the coachbuilt prams? How long is it since you saw one being pushed out by a proud parent? Well, for me it was last year in North Yorkshire. As I strolled around the shops with my friend, (another pram enthusiast), out of the corner of my eye I glimpsed a coachbuilt pram being pushed towards us. "Look at that!" I exclaimed to my friend. She thought I meant something in a shop window, but then as the pram came nearer we were both drooling. It was a Wilson, made by Silver Cross, in beautiful condition and had the Wedgewood plaque on the side. Inside the pram was a very contented baby, reclining against the raised backrest and surveying the world. But back to my original question - where are all the coachbuilt prams? Are they lurking in someone's attic or garage or barn, forgotten about now there are no babies in the family? Or are they all being carefully cared for by those of us who used similar prams for our own babies and now use them for our grandchildren? I know some are used to display reborn dolls as well. So do let us know, where you have seen a coachbuilt pram or where do you keep yours and how often do you take it out.
