Owter Zeds

“Owter Zeds is a term that refers to a type of clogs, which were traditionally worn by workers in the mills and mines of Yorkshire and Lancashire in England. The term “Owter” is a dialect word for “outer,” and “Zeds” refers to the letter “Z,” which is the shape of the metal toe cap that was often added to the clogs for protection.

Owter Zeds have become a symbol of working-class culture and history in the region, and they are still made and worn today by some people for traditional folk dancing or as a fashion statement. There is also a folk music band called Owter Zeds, which takes its name from the clogs and specializes in traditional music from the Yorkshire and Lancashire areas.”

That’s artificial intelligence for you…
