Anyone help please? something polisher... I'm struggling to make out what it is, the writing is reasonably clear.

Cycle polisher ??

[Rachel Scand]

That's what I think too ....
strange that the enumerator adds 'tails' here and there

there's a 'Cycle Labourer' on image 10
and on image 11 a 'Cycle Saddler'

[Vicky the Viking]

Thank you, its so obvious now!

There were bicycle factories in that area - Rudge perhaps? I know Raleigh were in Nottingham. Some of them developed into car manufacturers.
