Description

This is a life-sized bronze statue of one of the Dray or Heavy Horses that pulled the carts with barrels of beer from the Tetley brewery in Leeds in Yorkshire England to the pubs of the city. The brewery is long been pulled down and in its place in the former Directors office block is a new Museum of Modern Art.
Although the beer is now brewed elsewhere all that remains of the old Brewery the Brewery sign and a few old beer bottles which are in the museum. This horse stands outside in the wind and rain of industrial Leeds as its living companion so often did in its working life.
