Your photo made think of Heavy Horses by Jethro Tull. Wonderful photo.
Cool photo! What beautiful, massive horses! What did they do, pull cargo wagons? Or farm work? (I am not familiar with that part of the world or the job of waggoner.)
PS. I guess they look to me like they’re rigged up for pulling ploughs and the like?
What a lovely photograph to have. My grandfather on my father's side was a farm manager and all his family were farming people. My mother's father owned around half a dozen heavy horses and had a coal delivery business in London, then during the summer he swapped to carrying fruit and veg between the railway and the London markets. I posted a picture of him and his family some years ago here:

As he was described as a waggoner, pulling farm wagons... although they might have done ploughing with a ploughman.
When Pirate lived there it was a dairy farm with Dairy Shorthorn cattle...but they would have grown feed crops as well
On Pirate's mother's side his grandfather was a talleyman in the hop gardens
An interesting blog post of yours.
London slang or language is fascinating..not just the rhymes..then you add in Yiddish and Roma ....and look at Polari!!
Great to see both photos of men with horses who worked!
A wonderful photo to have from the days when horsepower truly was how farms operated. My father, who grew up on a farm in the 1930s, loved draught horses too.
Thanks!
How funny that you mentioned hop gardens and the tallyman! I just finished a Maisie Dobbs book, Incomplete Revenge, that featured the gardens and the way the hops were gathered. It was fascinating reading
