13 [official] cabmen's shelters remain in london; they are green, garden-shed
like facilites offering food and sustenance to cabbies. constructed and
introduced by the cabmen's shelter fund, a charity set by the earl of shaftesbury
in 1874, they were originally intended to provide shelter and non alcoholic
refreshment to london cabbies. between 1875 and 1914, 61 shelters were erected
at a cost of about £200 each. legally speaking they are considered parking
spaces. taxi_onomy researched and documented all 13 shetlers, looking specifically
at how they operate as support structures to the taxi network and consequently how they
might inform the design of an urban facility.
