Hungerford Arcade stallholder, Frances Jones (Unit 46) has a great love of antique rocking horses and with a few at home, decided after many years that it was time for one of them to move on to a new home. This particular horse was hand-made by F.H. Ayres of London who is widely known as the
maker of the Rolls Royce of rocking horses. In 1895, the price of one of these rocking horses ranged from 18 shillings to fifty shillings. Today, a magnificent horse such as this can sell for many thousands of pounds.
