 What was
the next development after the washing in the Butler's sink?
We were then fortunate to have a tap put into the kitchen
and that was a luxury - running cold water! Not too long after that, because we
had gas and electricity in the house, we had a very small gas Ascot type boiler
with a half inch pipe, so you only got a little water, so obviously the
galvanised boiler still came into its own. For hand washing, woolen things like
that and personal washing we had some hot water, and then, my Father changed
jobs so we had a bit more money, and they bought a washing machine - just a
single tub.
