Shoemaker (Scotland) Iron face pressed into brickwork.
« on: Friday 18 October 13 15:27 BST (UK) »
Hi

My paternal ancestors the McCalls, came from a small village in Ayrshire called Straiton and were a family of shoemakers resident there from mid C18th to well into the C19th.

The attached image is of a cottage with what looks like quite an old iron cast face, pressed into the brickwork, it has been mentioned it is the face of a souter (shoemaker) and marks the home of a cobbler.

Has anyone seen anything like this before and could validate this information?

Thank you
