There were no raised walkways in medieval times and people had to walk on the raw dirt for the most part. It wasn't simply bare soil, though; it was squishier. The ground was littered with human and animal waste, as well as animal guts and rotting food. In fact, human and animal occupants of medieval London produced 50 tons of excrement per day, much of which wound up on the street in some form or another.

That my friend is where you come in, Muck rakers were heroic people hired by the city to collect muck — feces, waste, and soil – and transport it beyond the city limits by boat or cart. They were paid more than the ordinary worker, which is understandable given the deplorable conditions in which they had to labor. They may earn what a trained laborer earns in 6 months in 11 days.
