EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph taken circa 1979 in Sale, Greater Manchester, a horse stands patiently by a red public telephone kiosk, its curious gaze fixed on the object before it. The horse, with its mane and tail flowing in the wind, seems to be waiting for its turn to use the phone, as if it were a common occurrence for equines to make calls in the quiet, residential street. The scene is a charming reminder of a bygone era, when horses were still a common sight on the streets of Manchester and public telephone boxes were the primary means of communication outside of the home. The houses and shops in the background, with their brick facades and traditional architectural details, add to the sense of nostalgia and historical significance. Two men, dressed in 1970s attire, can be seen in the distance, one leaning against a wall and the other walking towards the horse. It is unclear if they are connected to the horse or if they are simply passing by. The photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, captures a moment of unexpected humor and intrigue. It invites us to imagine the story behind this scene and to ponder the many changes that have taken place in our cities and towns over the past few decades. The horse and telephone box, once common sights on our streets, now serve as symbols of a time when technology and animals coexisted in a more intimate and interconnected way. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of images documenting the history and culture of Manchester and the North of England during the 1970s. It is a reminder of the rich and diverse stories that can be found in the everyday scenes of our past.
