BRUSHES BEING MADE BY HAND AT KIDDIER'S.

OLD NOTTINGHAM AS THE CRADLE OF KIDDIER'S BRUSH INDUSTRY.

THE illustration shows a portion of Mr. Kiddier's Old-Nottingham workshop. We feel that the name workshop is a good definition for this busy corner, as here the brushes are being made by hand to this day. In this workshop the skilled workman has still a field for his abilities; and as Mr. Kiddier himself is a practical brushmaker, much skill is consequently displayed throughout. To verify this statement it is only necessary to look at Mr. Kiddier's windows at 12, South Parade, in which is displayed, it is said, the greatest perfection and variety of brushes in the world.
