Some city breweries here, and in the UK, kept their horse drawn velicles on the local delivery runs, well into the new era of motor lorries.

In the 1940's my father was a teamster working on a farm in Canterbury. He ploughed using Clydesdale horses.

The Teamsters Union is very much alive and well in America.

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters is a labor union in the United States and Canada. Formed in 1903 by the merger of The Team Drivers International Union and The Teamsters National Union, the union now represents a diverse membership of blue-collar and professional workers in both the public and private sectors. The union had approximately 1.3 million members in 2013. Formerly known as the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers of America
