    The vendors were beside the footpath. The tea drinker could have been standing at, near or beside, the cart. (I assume that ear is a typo for near!)

In both of these cases, it's a preposition meaning near/close to.

In 1, the street vendors are near the footpath.

In 2, the writer drank (had) their tea near the tea cart.
