5 FOREWORD Red House Stables & Museum was built and set up in 1946 by Caroline Dale- Leech s father, Bill Smith, whose parents came over from Dublin to escape the troubles. Bill ran a successful fluorspar business but his passion lay with horses, and he brought over many equines from Ireland to sell on, always making sure there was a donkey with the weekly consignment. He also set up a busy riding school and there were usually close to 50 horses and ponies on the yard. But it is with coaching that Bill is most closely associated, a passion that he passed onto his daughter Caroline. Family holidays for the young, horse- mad Caroline, along with her mother Edna, two sisters and a brother, were a five day trip on the coach to Heacham in Norfolk. After a week spent riding the horses in the sea, the team would be driven home. Bill took a farrier and a lad to help on these momentous trips and he never used a spare horse, such was the compassion and care he had for the animals welfare. When Bill died in 1969, Caroline was determined to continue running the enterprises at Red House. Over the years she has worked tirelessly, and selflessly, to keep the business going, as well as putting a huge amount back into the sport. For nearly three decades she was the BDS Junior Commissioner and helped scores of children with tests, scholarships and work placements. She is a senior judge, a highly qualified instructor and an authority on all aspects of coaching, carriages and equines. Alongside the riding school and carriage business, she has also run a B & B. With the support of her husband Peter, Caroline has made the hard decision to disperse the carriages and accoutrements which have made Red House such a famous and popular museum. There are some rare and fascinating lots on offer, from children s hunting attire made by Edna, to the magnificent Travelling Chariot which is included in the auction by kind permission. It has been in the same family since being built at the end of the 18 th Century. Caroline s popularity in the carriage world, as well as in the local community, will ensure this dispersal is a busy one. She is keeping her beautiful grey horses and will continue to take out the Gay Gordon Road Coach on trips round Chatsworth and the Peak District, as well as providing commercial and teaching services. But the time has come to scale back her commitments and provide others with a chance to own some fascinating carriages and memorabilia.

42 Lot 905 SINGLE BROUGHAM By Holmes of Derby & London, circa Previously owned by the Inge family of Thorpe Hall, Thorpe Constantine, Tamworth. The doors are mounted with the family crest of two battle axes in saltire enclosed by a ducal coronet, with motto Ubi Amor Ibi Fides (Where there is love, there is faith). The unusual, deep, front section, coupled with the iron shod wheels, indicates this may have been intended for provincial as opposed to town use. Finished in navy blue and black, with turquoise blue lining. The interior is particularly good, in navy Melton and black leather, with carriage lace handles, pockets to the doors, navy silk blinds, hat straps and a coachman s cord. The front and door windows drop down, there is an interior storage compartment and the exterior luggage rail is detachable. Externally, the front dash is in black leather, the steps have covers attached to the base of the doors, there is a handbrake and the springs are full and three- quarter elliptics.

44 Lot 907 SIAMESE PHAETON By Mulliner of Birmingham, circa This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well- known vehicle of superb quality which has been in the collection for many years and also appears in Sallie Walrond s Looking at Carriages. It remains in what is thought to be the original paintwork of bright yellow and black, with an unusual painted basket weave effect to the back of the rounded seats. Overall it is in good order, although some careful conservation would be beneficial to enable use at Attelage events. The two Siamese seats are upholstered in buttoned black Melton and are linked by sweeping mudguards which straighten at the base to form steps to the rear seat; inset at the front is a pair of fine pagoda topped lamps. There are neat boots below the seats, the front hubs are fitted with oval step treads and there is a handbrake. At all points, the builders have enhanced the quality of their product, which has been equipped with slender springs, tapered spokes to the English patterned wheels, shaped woodwork and carved dub ends. Centrally placed at the rear is the Inge family crest, which also appears on the Brougham.

Three straw boaters and a basket will be included in the sale

49 Lot 912 MANCHESTER PANEL CART Built by Anne Cowburn of Manchester to suit 15 to 16 hh, single or tandem; painted black with red lining, and upholstered in black Melton. Having only had two owners since being built, this is a fine example by an excellent builder, whose carriages rarely come onto the open market as there are now so few in existence. Anne Cowburn was a member of the Lawton family, and her vehicles are similar in type and quality to their work. Resembling a Dog Cart, the body is mounted on Dennett springs and 54ins 16- spoke warner wheels with iron tyres. The seat is adjustable to help alter the balance depending on the load, and the tailboard drops. There are the additional attention to detail features of dummy louvers and tapered shafts.

56 AN IMPORTANT TRAVELLING CHARIOT by Coates & Blizard of 9 Park Lane, London, dating from circa Built for the Wright family of Eyam Hall, Derbyshire at a cost of 250, it remains in the family s ownership. It was commissioned by the then Equerry at Windsor Castle and at the time would have been expensive to both build and maintain, as well as being a significant status symbol for its owner. It remains in original condition and has been well maintained, with the wheels running easily. Its sale provides a unique opportunity to acquire a collector s piece which has never before been on the open market. Lot 920 TRAVELLING CHARIOT Similar in profile to a Post- Chaise, the high body sits on an impressive late Georgian undercarriage of perch, C- springs and leather braces. The iron- shod wheels have a pronounced dish which was associated with carriages of this period, and the spokes have been tapered into the felloes. In front there is a Salisbury boot, behind which sits a removable leather hat trunk which would have been used when travelling. To the back of the body is the sword case and in the floor there are two trap doors which allowed passengers to drop their valuables through in the event of hijacking.

57 The original green, red and gold interior has been delightfully preserved because in the 1830s a pink and white Regency stripe satin was placed over it for a family wedding, most of which is still in place; green carpet covers the beautifully crafted folding steps. The doors are mounted with louvered night boards and the original square pattern lamps with night covers are in their fixed brackets. At all points, the woodwork has been shaped, tapered or decorated with acanthus leaves. The grooms leather handles hang from the upper rear corners and the leather apron attaches to the rear rumble seat. Below, the drag shoe hangs from the rear axle, its chain covered in leather. The pole is held in place by a wooden wedge
