I can see that the sweeps really play it up with the costumes and the hats. These photos look like they could be from "Mary Poppins!" We still have chimney sweeps in the U.S. because so many people have wood stoves, but they certainly don't dress like this! They wear the usual jeans and sweatshirts people use for performing dirty work. I have to admit, though, I kind of like seeing the Polish sweeps in these outfits...they are kind of picturesque and quaint and give me warm and fuzzy feelings about memories of times past. I know... I'm a hopeless romantic!  |

Me romantic too, that`s why I posted those pics to keep the sweeps in our memory because I am afraid that one day those "colourful" overalls will disappear from the Polish landscape like it already happened in America. |

Keep up the good fight! Keep the memories there and some color in life! |

Will chimney sweepers return to the USA after Trump decided to withdraw from Paris climate deal??  |

Will chimney sweepers return to the USA after Trump decided to withdraw from Paris climate deal?? Probably not...most heating systems in the U.S. are not made to burn coal. I think Trump has in mind the big factories with the really big chimneys! I think they would need industrial-sized chimney cleaners, not quaint little individual sweeps! |
