DID YOU KNOW?

With the advent of the Industrial Revolution in 19th-century Britain, a trade developed as 'knocker-upper', people who were paid by workers to tap on their bedroom windows to wake them in time to go to work. The knocker-uppers used long poles or in some cases pea-shooters to make discreet noises on the upstairs bedroom windows of their clients. In some parts of England, the trade persisted until the 1970s.
