An apparently unrecorded handbill advertising for sale, at a price of £3,3s, a newly patented wheelbarrow with an inbuilt gas tar heater for the convenient repair of fences. The manufacturer, Edward Hill of Brierley-Hill Iron Works, Dudley, promotes the product as an 'exceedingly useful and economical article' for 'gentlemen with any quantity of fencing' as it may be 'wheeled, by a lad, to any part of an estate, conveying tools, &c., to repair or fix fencing, gates, &c., which may be out of order, and sufficient tar, naptha varnish, or paint to cover it when finished'. Intriguingly, the apparatus is apparently also of use 'for branding sheep'.
