When empty they would have been quite noisy (without the water) I imagine. Looks like other horse drawn carrages in background. If cleaning/shovering the droppings one would be sulky.

We had a local green grocer, named Bumstead, who we were warned of his approach (a mile or two away) bu barking dogs until he fitted pneumatic tyred rims to his horse drawn cart.

I don't remember his finishing his run sometime in early to mid 70's. Probably done out of a job by food chains having/selling such fruit & veg.
