Diane Charlton of the conservation workshop at Bradford Industrial Museum completes the restoration of a hand-drawn hearse that doubled as an ambulance when the glass top was removed. The vehicle was built in 1908 and used in the Yorkshire Dales village of Burneston.
It forms the centrepiece of 'from cradle to grave', an exhibition about birth, marriage and death from 1700 to 2000 at York's Castle Museum, which opens tomorrow.
