Hairdressers in Stowupland
Abram Calthorpe offered hairdressing from a shed behind his cottage on the Back Green in the 1940s.
Also further along Gipping Road, in a shed behind Torcros, Tom Williams was cutting boys and gentlemen’s hair. The reports we have suggest this was done on Sundays, so maybe this was to supplement his income from another job. Tom Williams was a well-known singer in the local pubs, being recorded by Katie Howson and her husband. It was amazing to hear a snippet of this recording at our April 2025 meeting.
