EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 1950s, we are transported back to a time when craftsmanship and skill were celebrated. The image showcases two remarkable individuals, W. Woodhaugh and Sergt. Coffey, both belonging to the esteemed Royal Army Veterinary Corps. As we delve into their world through this snapshot in time, our attention is immediately drawn to the central focus of their expertise - forging a shoe during a horse shoeing contest at the Royal Show on the Town Moor in Newcastle. With sleeves rolled up and tools in hand, these dedicated blacksmiths demonstrate their mastery over fire and metal as they shape horseshoes with precision. The authenticity of this moment is palpable; one can almost hear the rhythmic clanging of hammers against anvils amidst billowing smoke. Both men wear aprons that bear witness to countless hours spent perfecting their craft. Their faces reflect determination mixed with pride for being entrusted with such an essential task for equine well-being. This photograph not only captures a specific event but also serves as a testament to timeless occupations that have shaped history for centuries: blacksmithing and veterinary care for horses. It reminds us of an era where manual labor was revered, skills were honed through dedication, and traditions were passed down from generation to generation. Preserved by NCJ / Kemsley's Memory Lane Prints collection, this image invites us to appreciate forgotten trades while acknowledging those who dedicated themselves wholeheartedly to them – like W. W
