Re: What was it called?

Oh yes, now I know what you mean........the posh houses had the recess...but the common houses just had a boot scraper by the side of the front door.......cast iron...some were a little bit fancy(perforated flowers as decoration), but some were very plain.
My gran in Sheffield had a very plain one by her front step...no recess, just the cast iron scraper.
