A
clarence or
growler (British) was a type of
carriage popular in the 19th century. It was a closed, four-wheeled horse-driven vehicle with a glass front and seats for four passengers inside. The driver sat at the front, outside the carriage. It was named after
Prince William, Duke of Clarence and St Andrews, later to become King William IV of England, who died in 1837. It was introduced in 1840 in
London.
