I came across this interesting statue the other day while walking around Shad Thames in London with my Son looking at flats to rent. It's called "Jacob - the Circle Dray Horse" and is representative of the large dray horses that used to pull waggons of beer casks from the Courage brewery across Tower Bridge into the City. The horses were stabled at this site and the statue commemorates that. I was also impressed by the blue tiled building behind, not sure what it's for but it looked striking against the other grey/brown brick buildings of the area, must research why so blue?
