Russell Square - Cabman's Shelter

Cabman's Shelter

The Cabmen's Shelter Fund was established in London in 1875 to run shelters for the drivers of hansom cabs and later hackney carriages (taxicabs).

The Russell Square shelter is one of the thirteen shelters that still exist. All are now Grade II listed buildings.

Famous quotes containing the word shelter:

    We shelter children for a time; we live side by side with men; and that is all. We owe them nothing, and are owed nothing. I think we owe our friends more, especially our female friends.
    Fay Weldon (b. 1933)
