EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured in December 1935, we are transported back to a time when winter's icy grip posed a constant challenge for those traversing frozen roads. The image showcases the skilled craftsmanship of a Blaydon smithy as he meticulously fits spiked shoes onto a horse's hooves, offering protection against treacherous slips and falls. The scene unfolds within the rustic confines of the smithy, where an apron-clad blacksmith stands attentively beside his equine companion. With hammer in hand and determination etched on his face, he expertly hammers each spike into place with precision and care. The rhythmic sound of metal meeting metal reverberates through the air, echoing the dedication that goes into every stroke. Horseshoes have long been associated with farriers' occupations, but these specialized spiked shoes serve a unique purpose during wintertime. As snow blankets the ground outside, these innovative additions provide much-needed traction for horses navigating slippery surfaces. They represent not only practicality but also ingenuity - an ingenious solution born out of necessity. This snapshot from yesteryears reminds us of simpler times when manual labor was at its peak and resourcefulness prevailed over modern conveniences. It captures both the artistry involved in traditional trades like blacksmithing and their vital role in supporting everyday life. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints under NCJ's lens, this print serves as a testament to human adaptability amidst nature's challenges while honoring forgotten
