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:
“A “just war” is hospitable to every self-deception on the part of those waging it, none more than the certainty of virtue, under whose shelter every abomination can be committed with a clear conscience.”
—Alexander Cockburn (b. 1941)
