'Small Workhorse' by Judith Bluck.Do you know the story behind Ealing's much loved horse statue on Oak Road?Unveiled by the Queen on March 7th 1985, the horse resembles a dray or work horse.As London grew in size, more food and materials went in and more goods were coming out.Since dray horses can only haul loads a few miles per day, frequent overnight stops were needed. To satisfy the demand a large number of inns were located along Uxbridge Road, where horses and travellers could rest. This was the inspiration behind the work.
