What on earth is a Calendar Worker? COMPLETED THANKS

[Uistman59]

My wife's great grandfather was a Calender Worker in Kirriemuir, Angus. I assumed it was something to do with the jute/linen industry and by the sound of the answers above ,  I guess I wasn't far off the mark. Thanks for all these interesting links. javascript:replaceText(' ', document.postmodify.message);

I have an 1888 Marriage Regn in Dundee which has the groom's occupation as "Calendar Worker". Interestingly his occupation on another 1888 Regn is "Friday Worker" - perhaps a twist on the name used by those in that occupation

There seems to be a bit of confusion re spelling ,the machine is a calendEr,we use a calendAr to see the date .

 Very common occupation in textile towns and also as has been said,any substance that  needed rolling out flat .
Laundries use them to iron sheets etc .
Viktoria,
( Google likes to alter spellings, thinking it knows what you really mean!

There's a Callender Street and a Callander Square in 2 former textile towns in Lancashire. Note the different spellings which I copied from 1997 edition of Ordnance Survey Street Atlas of Lancashire.

Yet another spelling , two ll’s and two a’s ,.is one a Scottish place name.?

The latest two do not appear in my dictionary, but are perhaps names of noteworthy people of the town , or as I wonder, might be Scottish place names.
I must look at our Calender St ,it might well be one of the spellings you have given Maiden Stone ,it is there and I pass  it frequently ,but seeing and looking are not the same  with me!
Thanks.
Viktoria.

CALLANDER is a town near Stirling in Scotland.
The street and the square I mentioned in my previous post are in Bury and Rochdale boroughs. Yes, you can look at the street sign.
