Netherton now has a complete and fully operational Laundry. The purchases made at the recent fair I attended are now in place.
Interest has been added by way of slim dividers. One at the back of the room to the left of the drying closet (right hand corner) and one half wall just behind the washing machine. Hopefully, in a small way, these take away the plain rectangular shape of the room.
The drying closet - Laundry was placed on the rails, wet. The doors, which ran on wheels and a track, were closed and the laundry dried from the heat created by stoves. In some places these drying racks were open-ended. Wet laundry in one end and pulled out the other when dry.
The servant's eye view.
Some close ups.
The pegs in the bowl were made by me and the book is The Laundry Book from Dateman Books
A very warm welcome to all my new followers. I'm very pleased to have you here and hope you like what you see.
