WHITBREAD RIDES DRAY
John Sparks, John Payne, Bob Gane, Ray Perriam and Geoff Wythe purchased a Whitbread dray at the Peterborough show auction in March 2009 and are restoring and painting it so it can be used to give rides again.
This dray was originally a dray used for delivering beer around the City of London and made into a rides dray at the Whitbread hop farm.
It was bought from Whitbread by Banham zoo who used it for a number of years to give rides around the zoo.
