The village road sweeper.
***********************
A couple of blogs back I mentioned the village road
sweeper and now I have managed to find a photo taken in the early 1900’s of a
road sweeper with his barrow at work. The initials on the side of his barrow
stood for the council that he was working for, in this case CRDC stood for
Cookham Rural District Council. The council at that time looked after the
upkeep of the road network, also the refuse, and sewage collection as well.
Their offices were located at the top of Castle Hill in Maidenhead, on the left just pass the cross roads.
