London to Stamford coach

The London to Stamford coach stands outside Burghley House, somewhere it would have rarely, if ever, have been seen. This scene with the replica, or restored original, coach could date from any time in the eighteenth century to late in the nineteenth century. The giveaway that this is a modern scene are the female grooms and the two mobile phones in use. Otherwise the driver seems ready to get the four-in-hand underway on the just under one hundred miles journey.
