            Jen just googled and came up with this,

            The Seat Weaving category features posts about a variety of chair seat weaving hints & tips, techniques, materials, patterns, care, history, design and more!

            so seating could be correct, there are basket makers in the same street and they would have used similar if not same material.

                  Nearly there Julie.........I should have guessed it myself really considering a lot of male members of the family had the same occupation.........I think it has to be Horse Hair Drawer lol!
