In this print titled "At the ripe old age of 15, Cappy, Clive, Chance, Battle and Star have come to the end of the seam, they all retired. With them is their handler Mr. George Strathmore at Harton Colliery" we are transported back to a significant era in coal mining history during the 1970s. The image showcases five magnificent ponies adorned with helmets alongside their trusted handler, Mr. George Strathmore. These remarkable creatures - Cappy, Clive, Chance, Battle and Star - have reached a milestone in their lives as they bid farewell to their years of service underground. Their retirement marks not only an end but also a testament to their unwavering dedication and loyalty throughout countless shifts deep within the colliery's depths. They were more than mere companions; these ponies played an integral role in supporting miners as they tirelessly extracted coal from beneath the earth's surface. As we gaze upon this evocative photograph captured by NCJ for Memory Lane Prints, we cannot help but feel a sense of admiration for both man and beast alike. The resilience displayed by these animals symbolizes the indomitable spirit that characterized coal mining communities during that time. This poignant snapshot serves as a reminder of our shared history and pays homage to those who labored relentlessly underground while highlighting the unique bond between humans and animals forged amidst challenging circumstances.
