Last summer the Sentinel 8850 The Lion team brought the 1933 S4 waggon back for a tour the Westcountry, where it spent its working life. The wagon went new to the Devon Trading Company in Bideford and in August we were lucky enough to be invited to see the waggon back on the former Brunswick Wharf in Bideford where it would have been based.
