Here’s a little more about our friend Gharry! The Gharry is a square shape, four wheeled, closed horse carriage, that was introduced in India by the British during 1845. It was built light enough to be drawn by a single horse and further known as a Fitton Gharry. Entered through sliding doors at the side, it lies fairly high above the road level. The windows are slated with wooden louvres and a double roof for improved insulation. Though expensive, they were used by the public to cover large distances around Calcutta, Bombay and other cities, as they were considered fast and a very comfortable mode of travel. They were most often drawn by relay horses, which renewed every six miles! . . . . . . . . . . . .
