On offer is an original Ind Coope Shire horse watercolour titled “Shires and Dray” by M. Alison Bullock, dating to circa 1985. The painting depicts a pair of Shire horses in decorated harness drawing an Ind Coope brewery dray, with its traditional green body, red wheels and company lettering visible behind the driver. A second horse drawn turnout follows in the distance, creating the atmosphere of an agricultural show or promotional parade.

Ind Coope was a major British brewer with historic connections to Romford and Burton upon Trent. Its impressive Shire horse teams became familiar attractions at agricultural shows and promotional events during the twentieth century. This detailed original watercolour captures that brewery tradition in a well observed equestrian composition.

A well presented original painting with appeal for collectors of Shire horse art, brewery history and British breweriana.
