The use of Shires in the modern age is more widespread than would be imagined. They are more cost-effective than lorries and vans particularly in inner-City areas on routes of 10 to 12 miles per day. They are ideal for pulling vehicles in this situation and are therefore used for beer and bread deliveries, street cleaning and rubbish collection. The Society is also aware of promising results from a recent feasibility study to re-introduce Shire horse-power on canals both for commerce and leisure. Shire horses continue to be used in agriculture and timber operations to complement mechanisation. Now I Just copied that but hope it helps!

Shire horses are commonly used for farming, forestry work, and logging due to their strength and endurance. They are also popular for leisure riding, driving, and participating in shows or parades because of their gentle nature and striking appearance. Additionally, Shire horses are sometimes used for promotional events or as tourist attractions.
