History
The hand mower was invented in 1827 by Edwin Beard Budding, in a place called Thrupp near Stroud, Gloucestershire. Edwin's invention was very different to the hand mowers you see today. His mower had a series of blades in a cylindrical fashion attached to two wheels. When the mowers were pushed the razor sharp blades would cut the grass in the front and spit it out at the back. This made cutting your lawn twice the hassle as you would then need to rake up the cut grass. However it was a lot easier than cutting it manually with a sickle. Edwin's invention of the hand mower was his most successful.
