Bath chair

Used especially by disabled persons, it was mounted on three or four wheels and drawn or pushed by hand.

[2] If required, the chair could also be mounted on four wheels and drawn by a horse, donkey or small pony with the usual turning arrangement.

[2] Later versions were a type of wheelchair which is pushed by an attendant rather than pulled by an animal.

In the 19th century they were often seen at spa resorts such as Buxton and Tunbridge Wells.

Some versions incorporated a steering device that could be operated by the person in the chair.
