On the front end, there is a logo with the brand "Wilson" written in silver cursive, a narrow British flag and a blue tag indicating "Made in England". On either side of the pram, there is a painted pink rose. The knobs on either side of the canopy are also made to look like silver roses, with a yellow and green "W" symbol in their centre.
- Object History
- This pram belonged to George and Elaine (nee Blackstock) Burnett who lived in Burnaby on Elgin Avenue. The couple had four children, but the exact timeline of when this pram was used in unknown. The pram was made in England by the company Silver Cross, which was founded by William Wilson in 1877. It is the founder's surname from which the pram derives its name, which is found on the end of the carriage. George Burnett was employed as the foreman plumber at Oakalla Prison in Burnaby for 30 years. He was also the President of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 83 in Burnaby. Elaine's family farmed on land in the Deer Lake Area. George and Elaine had four children: John, Derek, Louise, and Lori.
