Hi all I am after photos of the old kind of clogs that my father used to wear as a boy. He never wore a pair of ordinary shoes until he was 14 and working. He has told me about them but I would love to have a photo. They were the ones with the usual wooden sole and clog irons, and with thick leather uppers that looked like ordinary boots on top. I have googled and found several sites that deal with clogs, and clog dancing, but none of them have photos of the old clogs - just the fancy ones or dancing ones. In my searches I have come up with a couple of good poems about clogs, which has been great. Can anyone help? Linda Visman Wangi Wangi NSW Oz.

Hallo Linda I recently bought an old postcard (around 1910) of a photograph of a pair of old clogs. They are obviously older than your father's were! I haven't access to a scanner at the moment but when I have it on the computer, would you like me to send you an image?

Hiya Linda - I found this site http://www.howlingdog.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/lancashire/clogs.htm7 - you might have already found it yourself. These clogs don't look like the ones sent to me by my grandfather from Warrington when I was a very young girl. I now live near Sydney and they were sent nearly 50 years ago. Of course, I don't have them now, but I do remember wearing them as a young girl and them being very comfortable. I do have miniature ones which look like my originals - if you don't have any more joy, I will take a photo and send it off to you.
