Victorian baby carriage made by Simmons & Co of London in the late 1800s
A Victorian coach built pram with metal chassis secured with leather straps and padded leather upholstery and hood. This particular model was known as the European.
It was discovered in a barn at Manor Farm, Long Crendon, and was in a very poor state. Volunteers at Thame Museum restored it and kept a photographic record of their work
Simmons & Co moved into premises in Tanner Street, London in 1888, where they made prams and carts. The company had a good reputation but they failed to keep up with other manufacturers and finally closed in 1959.
