What are Sussex Trugs?

A Sussex Trug is a wooden frame basket almost peculiar to a small region in East Sussex.  The handle and rim are of locally coppiced Sweet Chestnut, body is formed of willow boards and the feet should be of the same willow.

Traditionally used by local farmers and market gardeners for harvesting produce, measuring and feeding livestock they are now more generally used in the home and garden.
