Here is a typewritten note of the sale prices of the team of horses that had lived at James Archer’s South-Oxford farm at Grandpont, not far from Folly Bridge on the west bank of the Thames, the Berkshire side, and probably actually not in Oxfordshire, which were sold when the days of horse-drawn vehicles came to an end for the company. Though the Great War of 1914-1918 was shortly to break out in Belgium, and vast numbers of horses would live and die over there. Possibly some of these may have been requisitioned for those purposes, in due course, I suppose. I am pleased to have a note of the actual names of the horses that the firm’s staff must have worked-with and cared-for and perhaps even loved and nurtured as best they could.
