Barber Surgeons
Common in medieval Europe, they often cared for soldiers in battle. The 1545 Company of Barber-Surgeons split when the Company of Surgeons formed in 1745. This became the Royal College of Surgeons in 1800. Today they start with the same basic medical training as physicians. The red and white barbers’ pole represents the blood and bandages of their former role.

 Barbers to the Royal Family, Trumpers began at 8 Curzon Street, London W1 in 1875 and still offer a wet shaving service.
