Why don't you move on there?
EDITORS COMMENTS
This question was likely asked with a mix of frustration and disbelief as two horse-drawn vehicles, a horse-bus and a horse-cab, collided on a busy London street in 1853. The horse-bus, a larger vehicle designed to carry multiple passengers, and the horse-cab, a smaller, private hire vehicle, both jostled for position at a crowded intersection. The scene captures the chaos and congestion of Victorian-era transportation in London. Horse-drawn vehicles were the primary mode of transport for both personal and commercial use, and the streets were a constant hive of activity. The horse-bus driver, identified as Bussy, seems surprised by the encounter, while the cabby, with a look of annoyance, questions why Bussy didn't give warning of his approach. The collision and subsequent argument between the two drivers are a common occurrence in the 1850s. With no traffic regulations or signals to control the flow of horse-drawn traffic, accidents were a daily occurrence. The narrow streets and tight turns added to the challenge, making navigating London's streets a daunting task. Despite the challenges, both drivers continued to ply their trade, providing essential transport services to the growing population of London. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the daily life and transportation in London during the Victorian era. The image is a rare find, taken from the extensive collection of historical photographs at Mary Evans Prints Online. It is a reminder of the ingenuity and resilience of the people of the past, who navigated the complexities of urban life with horse-drawn vehicles, long before the advent of motorized transport. The collision between the horse-bus and horse-cab may have been a source of frustration for the drivers involved, but it also serves as an intriguing snapshot of a bygone era.
