  • A Gibbs strawberry van, owned by Fred Emmett, Brook Farm, Stanwell, Middlesex. The van man is believed to be C. Cox. Circa 1900.

    John Gibbs quickly realised that he could specialise in equipment for the expanding fruit and vegetable industry. One of his innovations was a lightweight cart for transporting strawberries. It was important that the fruit should arrive at market fresh, with the morning dew still on them. His Strawberry Van, pulled by trotting ponies, made the journey in record time.
