the past is a strange place

cops on bikes used to transport criminals like this

this guy worked as an alarm for waking people up

one wheel motorcycle

pin-boys who manually lined pins up

baby cage for families who wanted their kids to get enough sunlight

zoo-keeper showering a penguin

But who woke up the guy that woke everyone else up

That guy who woke people up.  They were called knocker uppers.  And knocker uppers had their own knocker uppers.  People who would come around at the end of their own shift of waking people up, to wake up the next group of knocker uppers so they could get ready to wake up those who needed to be woken up.

A knocker upper’s knocker upper.
