Theres also a tale of Bunny coming down Manchester Rd one night with his donkey cart, when he spots a copper, so he unharnessed the donkey and put it on the cart and took up the shafts and carried on. Copper stopped and said where's the lamp Bunny, (you were supposed to have a lamp hanging on the back end of carts)
Bunny replied don't ask me ask the driver.
Retlaw.

Just had a look at the pictures you posted, I assume in the background it's a Pub ? but I also assume it no longer exists in the present day & age. Also in the second picture it shows a horse harnessed to the cart, was this prior to, or after his Donkey ?[/quote]
If you look at the pictures you will see he is a lot older where he is holding the head of the horse.
Like a lot of other pubs in Accy its long gone. Retlaw.
