Title
Man and children sitting in horsedrawn carriage - probably Lord Byron's former carriage
Description

1. Lord Byron's carriage, brought to Port Lincoln shortly after 1906. See "Port Lincoln and District" (Baillie). (G Brooks)

2. There is no known direct link between Lord Byron and the Adelaide woman, Lady Charlotte Bacon, to whom the carriage was apparently sent from England. Lord Byron died in 1824. Charlotte Bacon and her two daughters came to Adelaide some time after the death of Lady Bacon's husband in 1864. Lady Bacon returned to England in 1877 and died in 1880. The carriage was sold when she returned to England and it eventually arrived in Port Lincoln in 1906. It was purchased by the owners of Lake Wangary Station and used at the Lake Wangary Hotel. It was then sold to a blacksmith who dismantled it and sold pieces as souvenirs. A piece of the carriage is now owned by the Koppio Museum. The carriage originally bore Lord Byron's family motto, 'Crede Biron'.
