Old Photograph Street Sweeper Paisley Scotland

Old photograph of a street sweeper in Paisley, Scotland. Street sweepers have been employed in cities since sanitation and waste removal became a priority. A street sweeping person would use a broom and shovel to clean off litter, animal waste and filth that accumulated on streets. Later, water hoses were used to wash the streets.
