Historique
Tacklehouse porters were employed by the City livery companies to convey goods to and from the waterside tacklehouses in which they allowed their members to store the materials of their trade. Street porters, later known as ticket porters, carried goods about the City, operating from river or roadside stands.
The Society of Tacklehouse and Ticket Porters was a fellowship, brought into being by the City authorities in order to regulate a large, mainly unskilled and intermittently troublesome labour force. Its constitution and activities were governed by ordinances drawn up by the Court of Aldermen in 1609.
