Open Lot Gypsy Wagon

Almost identical in size and construction of the Bow Top wagon, the Open lot or Yorkshire Bow featured the same design but with a curtain instead of the door characteristic of other wagons.  The wagon's entrance was covered by a curtain for privacy.
Caravans have only been used by Gypsies for 150 years. Before then, they walked on foot, used carts to convey their
possessions and slept in tents called "benders" made out of hazel twigs covered with canvas. Lacking tents, they would
sleep beneath the tilt (cover) of the cart. Wagons built to live in, not just to carry persons or goods, developed
about 1810 in France. In England these were probably first used by showmen traveling between fairs and with circuses in
the 1820's. Gypsies only began living in them about 1850. The Gypsies name for their wagon is a Vardo. It was highly
cherished, but they rarely built their own. Instead, newly married couples commissioned them from non-Gypsy coach
builders. Building a Vardo took them between 6 to 12 months and used the wood of oak, ash, elm, walnut and pine. They
were ornately painted, decorated with carvings and often enriched with goldleaf.
