The residents of Annfield Plain and Stanley got a glimpse of the past when the Ringtons
The residents of Annfield Plain and Stanley got a glimpse of the past when the Ringtons Tea horse and cart took to the streets.
The horse and cart, shown here in a picture from the Chronicle archives dated May 20 1971, made one last trip from the depot on the way to an exhibition at Beamish Museum.
The delivery van, which was thought to be around 35 years old, was driven to Beamish by depot manager Dominic Hughes, who himself was celebrating 40 years with Ringtons

EDITORS COMMENTS
The residents of Annfield Plain and Stanley were transported back in time as the iconic Ringtons Tea horse and cart graced their streets once again. This photo print, taken from the Chronicle archives on May 20,1971, captures the final journey of this beloved delivery van before it found its new home at Beamish Museum. With a history dating back approximately 35 years, this vintage horse-drawn carriage was a true symbol of nostalgia. Led by a majestic steed, it trotted along the familiar routes that had become synonymous with Ringtons' door-to-door tea deliveries. The sight of this equestrian duo brought smiles to the faces of both young and old alike. Behind the reins sat depot manager Dominic Hughes, who himself celebrated an impressive four decades with Ringtons. His dedication to preserving this cherished piece of history was evident as he carefully guided the van towards its destination at Beamish Museum. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of simpler days when tea deliveries were made with charm and grace. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Memory Lane Prints, let us appreciate the rich heritage woven into every thread of our community's past.
