EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Robson, we are transported back to the 1960s in Barnard Castle County Durham. The image showcases the heartwarming bond between Whisky the pony and his local pub, The Kings Head Hotel Bar. As a regular patron of this establishment, Whisky indulges in his daily allowance of three pints of beer while patiently waiting for his rider, Deborah Hooper (6), who is unfortunately too young to join him inside. The scene depicts an extraordinary sight as barman Jim Nicholson serves an extra-large customer with great care and attention. With a sense of humor and warmth, he fulfills Whisky's unique request without hesitation. This peculiar yet endearing tradition has undoubtedly become a beloved spectacle for both locals and visitors alike. The photograph not only captures the essence of rural life but also highlights the incredible relationships that can form between humans and animals. It reminds us that even in unconventional circumstances, friendships can blossom across species boundaries. Robson's skillful composition allows us to witness this charming moment frozen in time – a testament to the rich tapestry of history found within our local communities. Whether it be through shared laughter or unexpected encounters like these, memories such as these continue to shape our understanding of days gone by.
