EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the remarkable bond between a small groom and his towering Shire horse, Captain, at Robinson Brewery in Stockport, circa 1969. The groom, standing at just 4 feet 6 inches tall, is dwarfed by the immense size of his equine companion. To reach the horse's head, he stands on a series of step ladders, a testament to their deep connection. Captain, the Shire horse, was renowned for being the tallest of his kind at the time, with his impressive height and powerful build making him a true spectacle. The image showcases the horse's magnificent coat, adorned with a fine cloth cap and intricately designed tack and harness. The horse's blinkers are in place, focusing his attention on the groom, as they share a quiet moment in the stable. The scene transports us back to a time when horses played a crucial role in the daily operations of breweries, and the relationship between man and beast was a symbiotic one. The stable, filled with the scent of hay and horseflesh, is a reminder of the hard work and dedication required to maintain these magnificent animals. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the past, showcasing the unique bond between a small groom and his towering Shire horse, Captain, at Robinson Brewery in Stockport, circa 1969. The image offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where the strength and power of the horse were essential to the functioning of society.
