Horse Hair Dresser!!!

Can you imagine this?
I see a horse sitting in a salon chair - hooves crossed - hot coffee to
the side and wearing hair curlers!
But seriously folks, who's horses would they be 'hair dressing' in
Whitechapel 1871???

As far as I can remember they use Horse Hair for use in other areas.
HORSE-HAIR CURLER - dressed horse hair which was used extensively in the upholstery trade taken from

Hi all
Check this out!

Looks a bit different that stuffing mattresses. Would thinkk they got the hair from the slaughter houses. Must have been may around the East End in the 17/1800s as it would have been the main form of transport.

OK Gaye
You have a good weekend.
I have just discovered that I have a leaking pipe under the kitchen sink, so looks like I'll have to get some guy with an 'occupation' out to fix it. Maybe in a few weeks?
Hugs to you too Gaye. XXXX
