Other information about the Woodiwiss family connections in Derbyshire:
The Woodiwiss family had strong historical connections with Victorian Derby, providing two former Mayors and playing a major part in the development of railways in the region. Sir Abraham Woodiwiss, a Duffield stone merchant’s son, was Mayor from 1880-82. His son, Abraham Junior, was Mayor from 1888-89 and 1901-02. Sir Abraham Woodiwiss was the partner of George Benton in a company which constructed bridges, railways and a variety of buildings that included the Strand located in the City Centre Conservation Area.


This Governess car is in very good original, un-restored useable condition, but unfortunately, the small access door is missing.

About the governess cart concept:
The 'Governess car' or 'cart' or 'tub cart' was a preferred choice of transport by Victorian & Edwardian governesses or tutors. Mainly because of its safety record, due to its low centre of gravity of the 'tub' which sat low between the wheels, which made it difficult to overturn or capsize. The other benefit was its lightweight structure and it was marketed as such "that even a lady could harness and operate it" or words to that effect.
