Hello there.
I am writing a book on some of the history of our little village in North Wales and intend to self publish it. I suppose it will not be of much interest really to anyone outside our village. I am writing about our village, and its characters, past, and present, and have met with much enthusiasm from the locals.
 
Anyway to get to the point of my e-mail we live on the edge of The Snowdonia National Park and we have a few hundred Welsh Mountain Pony's roaming the hills of the Carneddau mountain range so I am researching and writing a little about the pony's of long ago.
 
 I am looking for a photo of a PIT PONY down a mine that I could use in this "publication".  My grandfather was in the Senghenedd Pit disaster in 1913; he was a rescue worker coming off the opposite shifts that day and I remember him telling me about those poor ponies.

There are many photos on line but of course I would have to get permission to use them and as I am not very up to date on all this HIGH TEC I am finding it difficult to know where to start !!!

Reading your site lead me on to another site "Ian Winstanley" and I see that he has a couple of photos on it, or I would be very grateful if you could point me in the right direction as to where I could possibly beg steal, or borrow or even purchase a copy of such a photograph.
 
 
 Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you  

(Mrs) Margaret Roberts.

Urgent: Please help us stop the use of Horses & Ponies in coal mines.  Please sign our petition at www.visitpitponies.co.uk/petition

Got any friends?  Please tell them all about this.  Lets make Pit Ponies History.  Ok?

One-day there will be a permanent home for the Welsh Pit Ponies.  It will have mature trees to provide shade from the summer sun, a babbling brook will cascade down into pools of clear water to drink long and cool from on hot summer days, It will have a good range of buildings to stable old bones on cold winter nights.  It will be easily accessible so anyone who wants to will be able to visit the Ponies.

To help make this a reality please visit;
