Bath Chairs were a common site not only in Bath but also Clifton in Bristol until the early part of the 20th Century
Bath chairs were hired with a pusher/puller, if you wanted to go visiting and it was too far to walk. Kelly's 1870 Bristol Directory lists nine wheel chair proprietors including a Henry Wellavize living at 12 Anglesea Place. Wheel chair activity in Bristol continued through the rest of the century into the twentieth until by 1939, only a Sidney Taylor of 3 Wellington Park, was offering a service. A chairman's rest is shown on a set of deeds for a property in Belgrave Road. In Bath, there were at one stage 160 licensed chairs and a Mr Ernest Ball did not finally retire until just after the Second World War.
