I would think he was employed in a commercial establishment, perhaps a hotel, or a cabby's stables/mews. As opposed to a family's home (domestic).

Thank you!
On the 1901 census where he is a Groom (not domestic), he is age 33, so not a stable boy. The other people on the same page of the census seem to be working in the brickmaking industry.
Interesting. I wonder what it means then.
He could have taken care of the horses used to pull trays in the brickworks.
