Wigan Album

Those horses are in a beautiful condition looking at the sheen on their coats and their muscles, and they look to be loving the attention too.

Thanks for the picture Ron, I did put a message up the other day but it seems to have got lost in the ether.
Essentially I was asking if anyone had pictures of the shows that used to take place at Haigh Hall in the early 1900's?
My mother told me that there used to be a parade of horse drawn best dressed coal waggons with prizes presented by The Countess of Crawford, both her and the Earl still in residence at the time.
The Countess asked my Grandfather if she could give his horse a sugar cube is response was 'Eye love, thors ul eat owt'.
I think this must have been before the First World War.
