St. Saviour's Cabmen's Shelter, Upper Brook-street, Manchester, 1862. Creator: Unknown
St. Saviour's Cabmen's Shelter, Upper Brook-street, Manchester, 1862. 'Praiseworthy attempts...have been made in the metropolis to better the condition of cabmen. For the most part, however, they are constrained to find shelter in public-houses from the inclemency of the weather during them weary waitings on the stand...The Cabmen's Shelter is situated...on a plot of land given by Mr. Edward Worthington, and was raised by the subscription of gentlemen and ladies in the neighbourhood of St, Saviour's, for the benefit of cabmen using the St. Saviour's cabstand...The shelter is closed on Sundays. No games of chance, or cards, or dice are allowed in it; nor are any intoxicating drinks to be introduced, except at dinner or supper time. The cabman last on the stand is required to lock the shelter...This shelter...cost less than £20 in building and furnishing; and who, when catching a glimpse through the half-opened door of the pleasant, well-lighted interior, but must regret that he had no part in this cheap luxury. It is to be hoped that such shelters will become general, wherever the neighbourhood of cabstands will admit of their construction'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862
