CARTERS AND THEIR HORSES

The city of Liverpool owes a debt of gratitude to the Liverpool Carter and to the Liverpool Working Horse. The 250 years service that these horses gave to the port and city of Liverpool is to be formally recognised with a monument sited at Hartley Quay, Albert Dock. Fundraising for this monument has been ongoing for over 5 years and is featured on our Carters Webpage Click Here to visit now.

By featuring Carters and their Horses on the archive section of the Scottie Press website we hope to be able to display an increased range of photographs and we welcome hearing from readers who may wish to provide photographs for this webpage.
