The golden age of coaching came between 1815 and 1840 as great road
improvements occurred allowing trams, carts and buggies to be towed
by horses comfortably. As companies vied for market share, one man
stood out above the rest. William Turton made his money as a Hay
and Corn Merchant but is better known as a founder and long-time
chairman of Leeds Tramways Company and with the Busby brothers,
founder and director of horse tramways in ten of the largest cities
of northern England. It is an exciting mixture of biography, social
history and city politics.
