Mud Scrapers (or Boot Scrapers)
Why Important
Although not needed today, due to better drainage and paved footways, they are, nevertheless, a key feature of period homes.
What to look for
The Cast-iron Mud Scrapers (usually 2; one each side of the entrance steps) are found at every main entrance, and are a critical architectural feature of the period.
When to look
How to fix
Restoration is by finding a similar, complete, Mud Scraper and making a copy. Installation is the same as for installation of external railings.
Avoiding creating problems
It is essential that, where existing for a period property, they are NOT removed.
