In some areas of England the leather school strap was used instead of, or as well as,the cane, particularly in the north and midlands. The main school strap supplier there was Cliffe of Walsall who produced a 22″ 3 tail strap in black or brown leather with a unique handle design almost resembling a cane. There was also Marshall of Manchester who supplied a strap not unlike that of McRostie of Glasgow in design but made from somewhat lighter leather. John Dick from Lochgelly in Fife supplied his famous and much more severe Scottish school straps to some English teachers as far south as London. I know a few ex pupils who were strapped with a “Lochgelly” when at school in England and all comment on what a very painful instrument it is, even when compared to the cane.
