Her Majesty's Mails
·
William Lewins
56
He
had
a
brave
monteror
on
his
head,
and
was
a
merry
fellow,
fancied
he
made
a
figure,
and
seemed
mightily
pleased
with
himself."
The
stage-wagon
here
referred
to
was
almost
exclusively
used
for
the
conveyance
of
merchandise.
On
the
principal
roads
strings
of
stage-wagons
travelled
together.
A
string
of
stage-wagons
travelled
between
London
and
Liverpool,
starting
from
the
Axe
Inn,
Aldermanbury,
every
Monday
and
Thursday,
and
occupying
ten
days
on
the
road
during
summer
and
generally
about
twelve
in
the
winter
season.
Beside
these
conveyances,
there
were
"strings
of
horses,"
travelling
somewhat
quicker,
for
the
carriage
of
light
goods
and
passengers.
The
stage-wagon,
as
may
be
supposed,
travelled
much
slower
on
other
roads
than
they
did
between
London
and
Liverpool.
On
most
roads,
in
fact,
the
carriers
never
changed
horses,
but
employed
the
same
cattle
throughout,
however
long
the
journey
might
be.
It
was,
indeed,
so
proverbially
slow
in
the
north
of
England,
that
the
publicans
of
Furness,
in
Lancashire,
when
they
saw
the
conductors
of
the
travelling
merchandise
trains
appear
in
sight
on
the
summit
of
Wrynose
Hill,
on
their
journey
between
Whitehaven
and
Kendal,
were
jocularly
said
to
begin
to
brew
their
beer,
always
having
a
stock
of
good
drink
manufactured
by
the
time
the
travellers
reached
the
village![29]
