Guard
Warden is the obsolete term for any person professionally with the entertainment and utilities, the maintenance of a permanent establishment in charge. Nowadays the word is mainly used in compound words and is used for people who take care of something or someone.
Examples:
- Jailer
- "Astray guards" (today psychiatry nurses, that is, in a psychiatric clinic active registered nurse , possibly with further qualifying as a nurse in psychiatry)
- Road attendant
- Bridge keeper
- Lighthouse keeper
- Lock keeper
- zookeeper
In addition, there is the outdated term “railway attendant” - probably due to increasing automation - as a technical term in the railway sector , for example for point and barrier attendants .
