THEY CALLED IT the appliance of science – the technology that began to revolutionise how housework was carried out towards the middle of the 20th century.
We’re not sure how much of the workload these early domestic appliances lifted from the shoulders of (mainly) housewives… Did you have anything resembling these, er, gadgets at home?

Don’t make women like they use to …,… That is all….
If it’s not broke I would see no need to replace them with newer goods. Just goes to show that the old stuff lasts way longer than what they make these days. Have a tumbledryer from 1977 that still dries the clothes and a mixer from 1980 that still does the job perfectly and a gas cooker from circa 1943 that was left by the previous owners of my current home. Got it serviced and 20 odd years later it is still going strong, and a novelty for the Engineer when he comes once a year to service our heating.
