mI remember wearing clogs very well (early 40's) mine were brown leather with irons. There was a clogger operating from a wooden hut on Catlow Hall St on the land next to what is now a chinese chippy(it was then an ironmongers shop) My parents both worked in the mill and wore clogs. I remember how they used to put socks OVER the clogs in icy weather to prevent the irons slipping on the ice. I dont remeber a ban on mill workers wearing irons - but then health and safety wasnt given the priority it has now.
