This versatile carriage belonged to the Graham Wigan family who were local to Maidstone. It was built by Barker & Co, one of this country’s finest coachbuilders. The Wagonette Omnibus could be used by families to attend social occasions or for running passengers to and from train station. It is a convertible carriage as the roof can be removed with the assistance of a winch that would have been on the roof of a coach house. The Omnibus, with lazybacks bolted along the sides, then becomes a wagonette for outings in fine weather.
