EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the hustle and bustle of a cabmens shelter in London during the late 19th century. The image, taken in 1875, depicts a group of weary cab drivers taking a much-needed respite from their long working hours. The shelter, located in the heart of the city, provided a place for cab drivers to rest, socialize, and care for their horses. The scene is filled with a sense of community and camaraderie, as the cabmen gather around the fire, sharing stories and laughter. Each man wears the distinctive uniform of the United Cab Trade, which included a red jacket, white trousers, and a black bowler hat. Their horses, harnessed and tethered nearby, appear calm and content, basking in the warmth of the shelter. The transport industry was a vital part of London's infrastructure during this period, and the cabmens played a crucial role in the daily life of the city. They transported passengers to their destinations, often in all types of weather, and their hard work and dedication were essential to the functioning of the city. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the lives of these hardworking men and their horses. It also serves as a reminder of the important role that the transport industry, and in particular the humble cab driver, played in the history of the United Kingdom.
