This is a photo of workers outside the Clog Iron Shop in Walsden, taken around 1902. It is included with the permission of Ann Kilbey, Pennine Horizons Digital Archive.
This photo was not one of the family's collection but I believe the young man on the middle row third from the left is my grandfather Harold Hiley. The date given for this photo is 1902. Harold is shown as working as a Clog Iron Maker in both the 1901 Census and on his marriage certificate in 1903. He lived with his family on Hollins Road, Walsden at the time and was aged 19 in 1902. Harold later moved to Littleborough and became a Baker and Confectioner.
