Horse Hair Dresser!!!

[Gaye]

Can you imagine this?
 

I see a horse sitting in a salon chair - hooves crossed - hot coffee to
the side and wearing hair curlers!

But seriously folks, who's horses would they be 'hair dressing'  in
Whitechapel 1871???

As far as I can remember they use Horse Hair for use in other areas.

HORSE-HAIR CURLER - dressed horse hair which was used extensively in the upholstery trade  taken from http://cpcug.org/user/jlacombe/terms.html

in many things...matresses...etc...but who's horses???

Looks a bit different that stuffing mattresses.  Would thinkk they got the hair from the slaughter houses.  Must have been may around the East End in the 17/1800s as it would have been the main form of transport.

OK Gaye

You have a good weekend.

I have just discovered that I have a leaking pipe under the kitchen sink, so looks like I'll have to get some guy with an 'occupation' out to fix it.  Maybe in a few weeks?

Hugs to you too Gaye. XXXX
