Summary

[edit]
Description
English: El Cabmen's Shelter Fund (Fondo para Casetas de Cocheros) se estableció en Londres en 1875 para construir casetas para los cocheros de los hansom cabs y, más tarde, los hackney carriages de la ciudad.

Por ley, los cocheros no podían dejar desatendidos sus vehículos en la calle, ni siquiera en las paradas de taxi. El político y filántropo Anthony Ashley-Cooper, el VII conde de Shaftesbury impulsó la creación de una asociación caritativa para construir y mantener estas casetas en todas las principales paradas de la ciudad, construyéndose un total de 61 entre 1875 y 1914.

Las casetas eran de color verde y, como ocupaban la vía pública, no podían ser más largos ni anchos que un coche de caballos con su caballo. Tenían una pequeña cocina y sillas y mesas para hasta trece cocheros. Se prohibía expresamente el juego, las bebidas alcohólicas y la blasfemia.

Aún existen trece casetas, todas ellas protegidas como monumentos protegidos.
