Our New Police Patrol
I heard the unmistakable clip-clop and by the time I’d got my camera, they were walking sedately into the distance.
Our New Police Patrol
I’ve not seen them patrolling here before, but an ex-policeman I used to know years ago, said that horses are not a bad way to show yourself and have a look into residential areas. I know myself, that the view from a horse as you walk around, is times better than the one you get from a car.
I suspect though today, as it was a Sunday morning, it was more about giving the horses a stretch and some exercise.
As I didn’t take a good look, I got to wondering where the horses came from. I found this article from Spitalfields Life, describing the stables of the City of London Police at Wood Street, just South of the Barbican. I would suspect, that they could have come from there, as the distance would be a very suitable walk for a working horse.
