William Thomas Hogg of St Albans had worked at the cab rank in Harpenden for some years, but when all the other cabbies were switching to cars, friends had helped to provide him with a replacement horse and cab so that he could still provide a regular service at Harpenden Railway Station.
However old age caught up with him and in 1936, shortly after giving up the cab and his horse Robert, he died (?Perhaps of a broken heart?).
Do you know of any other horse-drawn cabs that were still operation on a regular basis after 1936?
