Killerton House - Laundry


A box mangle.


An ordinary mangle.

Scrubbing board.


Dolly peg.


Dolly tub.



Drying racks.


Irons.


This small iron was used for collars, I think.


I don't know what this unusual shaped iron was for.


This iron would be filled with coals to keep it warm.

For the interesting story of a was day in the Potteries using some of thes implements see this site.
