Carters worked with horses and where involved in carting goods and services around the city.
The Carters are still active in Liverpool and take a great pride in their heritage and especially their horses. The horses are now shire horses and very well looked after.
Some of my own ancestors were carters.
Liverpool was a thriving city from the beginning of the nineteenth century, it was an industrial and commercial city.
Carters would provide the transport services that railways didn't provide. Some carters worked around the docklands carrying goods to and from the ships arriving in the busy port. They delivered to and local businesses within the city and out to the surrounding local areas.
The carters had and still have a society and took a lot of pride in their work and their horses. The work was often heavy and required heavy horses such as shire horses.
Carters as trades men go back hundreds of years.
