Its Origins, Builders, Technology and Conservation. Horse-drawn living waggons have been in use for at least 150 years, and the best were built in Victorian England, notably in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. The people of the roads called their home the waggon, van or vardo, but house dwellers called it the gypsy caravan. For the gypsies it was their most valued possession. Distinctive, functional and handsome, it would be hard to find a better symbol of the travelling people. Few now travel the roads (only about six per cent of the gypsy population still live in caravans), and many are museum pieces; but it is still possible to buy a new caravan or restore one. In this book the authors define the waggon"s characteristics, outline its history and technology, recall its builders and describe the six main types - their decoration, construction, furnishing
