not a pretty sight Howard.
According to Wikipedia.............."Scavenger appears as an occupation in the 1911 Census of England and Wales. This job title was used to describe someone who cleans the streets, removes refuse, generally a workman (a modern-day garbage collector, janitor, or street cleaner) employed by the local public health authority."
I expect the rubbish would also include items worth saving and selling on much the same as happens today, it always amazes me some of the stuff that people throw away.
