True Romanie travellers settled and live in Stanwell. The horse and wagon is their trademark and hangs on the wall of many homes. The old days of living in a wagon are remembered fondly by those who lived in the fields and worked on the farms in Stanwell for many generations.
Sonny Loveridge grew up with his family living in wagons on the nearby farm he says: “It’s the best life living outdoors, I loved the horses. People were much friendlier, everyone was your uncle or auntie in those days”.
