Thanks for that Jane. I was in fact asking if anyone had or had not heard of them. Having sat on ours for many a year I am intimately aquainted. I would have regaled posters with some experiences but thought the subject was drifting to far off list. The diagram available on the Tameside site is accurate save that the 6 foot drop is a minmum, not a maximum. Also, no technical diagram can convey the experience.

I have an ancestor whose occupation on marriage was "bottom trimmer". My wife thinks it's something to do with the seats of chairs, but his father was a farmer, so I reckon it's something to do with sheep, if you know what I mean.

Is anyone else out there a bottom trimmer?

Bottom Trimmer Occupations in Google comes up with some interesting links about every kind of bottom job except trimmer. I know you've alluded to farming but was there any other major industry in the area. I'm thinking of course of the famous Sagger Makers Bottom Knocker which was a pottery job. Have you checked a relevant census. If you look at neighbour's occupations you may get some clues. Keep us posted.
