Photograph of the Horse Fair, showing ponies on Church Green sold for pit ponies.
By Bourton Cottages Men with white flags kept the horses under control. A strip of white rag was tied on the tail of a horse when it was sold. In later years, a white sticker was stuck to their rumps. Note the temporary railing in front of Church Gate house. Ladies and children stayed safe in the churchyard while they watched proceedings Horses were thought fit for use down the coal mines
