This statue stood in the middle of the street in Chatham, New Brunswick, Canada around the turn of the century. It was there mainly to water the horses as they went by with their masters. The building on the extreme left of the picture now houses O'Donaghue's, a popular Irish Pub where I have been known to lift a glass or two...........fun place to be, lots of entertainment and good food.
Water your horses on Water Street!
ReplyDeleteHey or Hay, I never thought of that, you are quick witted Postcardy!
ReplyDeleteNow a watering hole has arrived in the form of O'Donaghues.
ReplyDeleteAmazing comments, I'm glad I am blogging....
ReplyDeleteAs you know, if there are two things I really like it is an old photograph and a pub. To combine the two - masterly.
ReplyDeleteWe aim to please, tee hee hee.
ReplyDeleteThat is cool! I'd never even considered something like that ... horse stations instead of gas stations. Great photo.
ReplyDeleteHappy SS,

I suppose it is now long gone. It seems a shame. At least it's preserved in part by this card.
ReplyDelete@Sheila, yes it is long gone now, I can only imagine if it were there now, how many would drive into it after being at the other "watering hole", O'Donaghue's!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell many a tipsy reveller has been known to end up dunked in the horse trough to sober up, so perhaps it had a dual purpose!
ReplyDeletei just knew that Alan would like this...
ReplyDeleteit is indeed a lovely picture.
