Within the time of living memory, the world of work has changed enormously. Many of the once familiar names and terms have fallen into disuse and can only be understood with the help of a dictionary.

For instance, who now knows what knockers-up, buddle boys, hokey pokey men, and sperviters were?

Colin Water's excellent dictionary explains the function of nearly 4,000 old trades, titles and occupations, and contains over 80 illustrations. It is a comprehensive reference book that will be widely welcomed and is sure to become a much used companion; especially to all those interested in family, social and local history.
