In the early mid fifties there used to be an elderly lady came down peter st in a chair with two little handles by the shoulders, she always had a travelling blanket over her knees. For some reason i believe it only had one wheel at the front, but this was a long time ago so i wouldn't swear to it.
I think those used to be called 'bath chairs' at the time. There was an elderly lady in Lingholme Road (ex school teacher) called Miss Tabernacle who had one. I don't remember seeing her out and about in it very often though - think she used to go into the park on a nice summer day but that was all.
