    Share Share Post
    There are some people able to make toys. There is a man in Freshford called Mr Delaney who is able to make wooden lorries with wooden wheels. He also makes steam rollers and scooters and horses. He makes them all out of timber. He sells the lorries for nine pence each, the steam rollers for one shilling and six pence, the scooters two shillings and six pence and the horses for two shillings.
