hernesheir commented on the word open-lot
From the British agricultural journal The Countryman, Vol. LIII, Winter 1956, in an article by Dominic Reeve named "Travelling People" (i.e. Gypsies, and other poor Folk):
"A closed van, with its occupants not visible, has a sinster look: especially the canvas-covered 'open-lot' with a rag or piece of sacking for a door."
