January is the time of year when they cut and bundle osiers in the countryside

January is the time of year when they cut and bundle osiers in the countryside. They are much used in farms and gardens to make hurdles.
Osier cutting is an ancient craft and in some parts of the Midlands is attended by customs which trace their origin in antiquity
Osier cutters Mr Harry Beech and John Spencer are seen here stacking the bundles in an osier bed at Welford on Avon, Warwickshire. 16th January 1957
