In the 1950s my Irish immigrant grandfather to Glasgow in Scotland, could not get a job because of discrimination, he would sweep horse manure from the streets to sell as fertiliser and collect sticks to bundle sell as firestarters. Yes fireplaces were still the primary way to heat your home until smogs caused health scares and new fireplaces were banned, horses were still well used in the UK for deliveries until the 1960s when cars became affordable for working people.
