The Drovers' Road Traditional Cache

A chance to explore this section of a part of our collective heritage which predates History.
As anglo-saxons started living in communities the fuel for their townships was brought in by wagons carting firewood ,hay to give them horsepower and food of course.If that food could walk,it was driven to the townships and cities by Drovers whether it was geese,turkeys mutton or steak.This select
Group of self sufficient intelligent and well armed folk controlled the supply of their droves to maintain high prices and would pay farmers on the city perimeters to fatten up their stock before driving herds of up to 400 steers through the streets of the cities.They alone were permitted by Cromwell to carry side arms and were the pioneers of modern banking.This road has seen all this and now lies patiently awaiting the demise of the Oil Age to once again be a part of the vibrant economy that once was!My late Dad in his childhood would follow the carts up Haverstock Hill and pick up and sell as manure the results of the additional strain as the horses fought the contours.He remembered when The Haymarket was just that!
