18.01.2022 Interesting read Van Girls of the Railways 1943, Lilian Carpenter leads her horse Snowball from the stables to the loading dock or 'bank' to collect the van she will be driving today. The van has already been loaded and is waiting for them at the 'bank'... Much of the history of railways is the history of men, but from the outset, women worked on the railways. As with so many other jobs, it was wartime when women came into their own. At the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, 25,000 women were employed on the railways. By 1944, they numbered 114,000. A few worked with the railway horses. Helena Wojtczak’s Railway Women (Hastings Press, 2005) describes the role women had on the railways, and you can find the text of some of her interviews on her excellent website dealing with railway women during the war. In the transcript of her interview with Grace Moran-Healy, who became a horse van driver during the Second World War, you are awed by the privation that Grace and her children endured quite cheerfully, her sheer courage, and the love she had for the horses she worked with. Grace was, very unusually for the time, divorced. With three children to support on her own, all of them living in one room in Manchester, it was vital she found work. Grace saw an advertisement for van lads at Manchester station, went along, told the supervisor she wasn’t scared of horses (which wasn’t entirely true), and started work the next Monday. https://booksandmud.blogspot.com//railway-horses-1-railway

14.01.2022 My grandfather Ollie in 1912. Quite a good looker really. He drove horse ambulances in France in WW1. He loved horses.
