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
