Description

As the world of technology came to the fore in the 1960s it is strange to think that there were still working horses in many places around the UK. One such place was the docks area of Belfast and the shire horses in this footage can be seen transporting heavy carts full of large barrels across the Queen Elizabeth Bridge.

Credits

An Ulster Television Production.
