Horses played an important part in the life of the town at one time. We got milk from one of the farms up Sandy Lane and it was delivered by horse and small cart. The driver was a man called Jim. My mother took a jug out to the cart, and Jim used a ladle to fill it from one of the large round containers. There was a small step on the back of the cart and he let us ride along on it for a short distance. That was the closest I came to a horse.

I didn't know Bullough's rented the field where the college is now, and I don't remember the horses. There was a high stone wall around the field.
