1. Title: "A Farrier's Invoice: Owen Coles, Silverstone, Northamptonshire, circa 1910" This image showcases an original farrier's invoice from Owen Coles, a skilled farrier and blacksmith based in Silverstone, Northamptonshire, during the early 1910s. The invoice, bearing the elegant script of "Owen Coles, Farrier and Smith," is a testament to the agricultural heritage of this idyllic English village. The meticulously handwritten document lists various horse-related services provided by Coles, including shoeing, repairs to agricultural implements, and general smithing work. The items on the invoice are detailed, revealing the diverse range of services offered by a traditional farrier in the early 20th century. The invoice's design is simple yet effective, with a bold border and clear headings, reflecting the practical nature of rural trade during this period. The use of a billhead, a common practice among tradespeople, ensured that the recipient had all the necessary information for payment and record-keeping. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of a rural community where the relationship between humans and horses was deeply intertwined. Farriers like Owen Coles played a vital role in maintaining the health and wellbeing of working horses, ensuring their ability to contribute to the agricultural economy. This evocative piece of historical stationery serves as a reminder of the rich agricultural heritage of Silverstone and Northamptonshire, as well as the importance of skilled tradespeople like Owen Coles in rural communities.
