Not so far back in time as you might think. My mum had a galvanised tub and washing dolly and a drying/airing frame just like those. The only thing missing from this collection is a mangle. She had one of those too. We also had a huge coal fired 'copper' in the kitchen (made of cast iron) and fed by specially collected rainwater off the roofs. Come wash day it was like a Turkish bath in there!

Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass
