In the early days of the Sunderland taxi you were more likely to be carried around in a horse drawn cab. In the 20th century cars started to replace the horse drawn cabs but there was still a special service that used the horse drawn cab that carried on into the 1930s.
Station Taxis were one of the first motorized taxi services to serve Sunderland, with there history going as far back as 1901 when a gentleman by the name of Monkhouse "Yorkie" Graham began operating his horse drawn cab. Since then Station Taxis have grown to become the largest taxi company in the City of Sunderland. Station Taxis have a tradition of being the first to introduce many innovations to the taxi trade in Sunderland. For instance, this Model T Ford was in 1922 one of the first of the new motorised taxicabs in Sunderland.
Station Taxis have since developed an entire technologically advanced support system ensuring that the very best level of taxi service is provided as standard by Station Taxis.
