Robert Cresser Brushes "When I worked at Souness & Spiers timber merchants in Warriston in the early-1960s, we used to supply Robert Cresser with blanks for their brushes There was a large variety of types from your standard broom head to deck scrubbers to specials that they made up for brewers etc. We used saugh, the Scottish name for poplar. This was a hard wood but stood up to being wet. We did a fair bit of our own logging under contract at Newbattle Abbey. I was down Victoria Street couple months ago and saw what was Robert Chesser. It is now a dress shop. Danny Callaghan, Falkirk, Stirlingshire, Scotland: April 22, 2012 |
