At first, the carriages used a leather suspension, but in the 17th century arrived the great innovation of spring suspension, which consisted of curved bars of metal on which the carriage body rode. Typically crafted from primarily wood and iron, carriages were vehicles consisting of a four-wheeled wagon with one or two axles, a rounded roof and seats. Due to the appalling condition of British roads, carriages were not introduced in England till around 1555.
