The Cabmen's Shelter. This cabmen's shelter in 1904 London gives some idea of the modest dimensions of cabmen's shelters, including the Butt Bridge shelter in Dublin (the setting for an important scene in Ulysses). Alan Fisher points out that the shelter in this picture is on a cab stand close to Harrod's department store, about 400 metres from the present location of the Thurloe Place cab stand and shelter (next page). Since two shelters would not have been built so close together, the cab stand and shelter must have been moved to Thurloe Place sometime after 1904. Source: Outing magazine, vol. XLV, 1904, p. 153.
