A picture of his dad, Tom France, along with Tom's pit pony (called Jerry!!), from the Shipley Coppice Colliery. This picture is dated (we think) 1937, and shows Tom and Jerry at the Royal Windsor Show, where they were presented to King George. A rare event for a Heanor Miner and his pony, I would think.

Has anyone come across any press publicity about the event - there must have been some!
