Captured at the top of Epsom High Street, where it joins Upper High Street, outside what is presently the Zig Zag café.
Easy enough to get rid of the litter as there was a litter bin just off snap to the left and the damp weather had softened the two cardboard tubes to the point where folding them up for the bin was not a problem.
More of a problem was deciding where it came from, given that the branding on the handle had worn off. The deep red plastic trim at each end of the handle was a colour that Sainsbury's used for their trolleys. On the other hand, the trolley was of much lighter construction than theirs. Thinking on my feet, I settled for Wilkinson's, mainly on the grounds both that they were a cut price operation and that their shoppers would be buying stuff which might be bulky but which would not usually be heavy.
And it turned out that Wilkinson's did indeed have trolleys of this kind, if not this particular model. At least not on view at the entrance.
