The History of the Coaching
Club 1871—2000
Tom Ryder
|
By the late 1850s the railways had driven most of the public coaches off the road and a few of those who had experienced the delights of driving four good horses in their younger days got together and formed the Four-in-Hand Driving Club with a limit of thirty members. Meets were arranged during the London season and soon there
was
a long waiting list for membership. Thus was born The Coaching Club and this book tells its story with a picture gallery of present members.

Parade
Keith Chivers
|
One hundred years ago everything that travelled on the roads was pulled by horses. There were 60,000 work horses in London alone and many had to endure hard work, ill-treatment and neglect. The London Cart Horse Parade was started in 1885 to encourage better
use
and management of horses. This later grew into the London Harness Horse Parade and this hook tells its
story.
