Query #10 - Sedan Chairs

24/06/1933

I have been trying to find the date the Sedan Chairs ceased to ply on the streets of Bath. Can any reader give me the required information. —A.V.G., Bath.

A note to Thomas Jeans' "Season in Bath" 1855 states (p. 68), "Only one or two mouldy old Sedans are extant. That most convenient locomotive has been completely 'run off' the pavement by the modern wheel chairs." The last date in which Regulations for Sedan Chairs appear in the Bath Directory is 1868-9, though the entry may have continued for some years after the chairs had ceased to ply.—Library.
