This old animal trailer needs some work!

Seen on a walk around Allerthorpe. Took a couple of photos on the walk see extras. This goes as my entry for this week Derelict Sunday.  

The wall plaque commemorates Thomas Cooke, Optical Instrument Maker, 1807 - 1868. The company he founded was taken over by Vickers Instruments in the 1960s; my father Francis Smith, was an inventor of optical instruments for Bakers, in Croydon, initially and then by Vickers after their takeover and was then moved to York.
