Thumbnail for Rod-stripping at Ruscombe, probably at the rod-yard belonging to the Excell family, at the corner of New Road and Ruscombe Lane. The work is being done by three ladies in aprons: a man, probably a member of the Excell family, stands to the right. In the background is a building which appears to be made of osier rods, and thatched. The osiers were used to make baskets, and hurdles : photograph by Llewellyn Treacher, white album, page 81. There is another print in the green album, p. 5. The glass negative is in Box 14, numbered 6. Album at Royal Berkshire Archives
