Comments on: Stephen Gill’s Trolley Women https://spitalfieldslife.com/2021/04/25/stephen-gills-trolley-women-2/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Sun, 02 May 2021 16:03:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.1 By: Marcia Howard https://spitalfieldslife.com/2021/04/25/stephen-gills-trolley-women-2/#comment-1376678 Sun, 02 May 2021 16:03:00 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=186705#comment-1376678 I had a Sholley for years. A wonderful design and well balanced, with no danger of it falling over like other shopping trolley’s could do.

Looks like they have been to coach builders.

Prior to covid people from my canton regularly went cross border to Germany and France for Euro shopping as it’s much cheaper – as well as trolleys you’d see large wheely suitcases on the trams ?
Trollies are great – when my sister had a foot op a relative loaned her the walker type with the basket on the front so she could get out and stay mobile until it healed. Years ago we associated them with old ladies but not any more – I have to use public transport here as we have no car so wouldn’t be without ours.

Love & Peace

I am in Ohio USA- my grandmother always used one (we call them shopping carts) to walk across the bridge to the grocery store in the 1950’s and into the 1970’s. I actually was excited to use one when I moved to a city where I could walk to shopping through our adjacent neighborhoods. I used her wire basket shopping cart at first but it was kinda rusty so I got a newfangled one like some of the ladies shown. It was very satisfying somehow to cart stuff home in this way and I miss doing it, even if I did feel a bit shall we say retro…

trolley or use their “rollator” for walking without accidents and carrying some shopping in the included front basket

So useful . I should think they are a life saver for many people who don’t have vehicles and by using the sholley can do a decent shop.
Sholley one of the great labour saving devices ever .

I think whicker trolleys (trollies?) are still made.
