Social History — 1935-1945
Mug, tea mug
This 3/4-pint tea mug would have been used by a cab driver 'taking a break' in the Warwick Avenue cabmen's shelter. Cabbies bought their own mugs, which were kept for them at the shelter and looked after by the 'shelter boys'. The first shelter was opened in 1875 and another 46 had opened by 1950.
