Bob blamed fashion for death of clogs


3/11/2007

LANCASHIRE’S most famous lassie wore them and a former mayor of Rochdale made them.

Until the late 1950s clogs were as much a part of Lancashire as hot pot and black puddings, but as the 1960s dawned one had to search hard and long for a pair of clogs.

   The Jim Butterworth mentioned was my Dad. In later life - and after recovering from a stroke Dad made some model clogs, not up to the satndard of real ones of course. For photo's of his models and memories of him making them contact Peter Butterworth at clogger351@ntlworld.com
