I know I'm picking up on a very old thread here, but I'm interested in images of horses on the canals and any information at all about them - I have posted my flier on a thread I started myself but I'll post it here too. I hope that's ok.
Thanks for so many positive responses - I have a copy of Wendy Freer's thesis - and I've come across some of these photos before but others are new to me. I gave a talk on interpreting images of horses at Ellesmere Port for the Horses at Work day last month so always glad to see any that crop...
I have just joined this forum to help me research a book on horses on the inland waterways - I am using archive records from various sources, but I'm also especially interested in family history, stories, old photos and memories, no matter how vague.
I'd be really interested in anything...
