    At 4:00 there is a bucket on the wall. On Saturdays in 1970, this tub was filled with warm water, and I (the cleanest) was washed in it first, then my three younger brothers. Unfortunately, I then had to bring my father food to work.

    I thought the first mistake you made when entering was not scraping or tapping the crud off your shoes before coming in! They use to have little metal bars by the doors for that.

    I do hope this museum is still in existence, its so important everyone has an opportunity, to experience our ancesters way of life. This home would have been classed as people who live there were very comfortable, definitely a step up from working class family.

    My aunts lived in houses similar to that in the 1960's. You went down the entry to get to the houses and they had a brewhouse and a toilet in a block down the back. The houses were in a terrace and opened onto a rear fold where each had a section of garden. Some of the houses were a bit bigger and slightly posher ( they didnt share an entry) . My grandmother ( dads mother) was a nail maker and had a shop at the back of her house. She lived in Cradley Heath ( born 1878)

    As I understand, front doors were used three times, and women were carried each time. When you were born, when you were married and when you died.

      Remember this is also the era of valets and ladies maids for the upper class and cooks and maids for the working class- meaning the poor were the only ones that couldn’t be lazy. The rich would be fed, dressed and cared for by others which is exactly the same as today let’s not pretend the past was something it wasn’t.

    Dutch here. In 1901 a new Living Law was in power. In these years the living conditions improved in the Netherlands. My birth house is from 1905. The toilet hanging on the wall reservoir is still there and in use. So already then, our workers house had already a flushing toilet attached to the kitchen that was attached (still is) to the house. Even in 1988, our East Germany family had such a hole in a plank toilet. When I was there again in 1990, it had normal toilets. They also used newspaper to clean and so when we came to a visit in communist times, we always took toilet paper with us. Now I live in Belgium and because of this vid, I have an idea of house my entry hall from my 1777 house looked like. The stone sink is still there but under a window sill plank (modern).I will make it visible again. The red tiles are also still under the vinyl carpet. I try to bring back some of the 1900s style in my house
    Upstairs the doors from about 1860 are still there. The electricity is still from 1940 ( upstairs) and in normal use. With porcelain and bakelite. If I am in England once, I will visit your museum. In the 1905 neighborhood from the Dutch city where I am from, the candy store is still there and never touched again since about 1990. The interior is still from about 1900. You can see it through the windows. We went there when young, to buy candy. Google maps: corner Pretoriaplein / President Steijnstraat in Haarlem. It is the Transvaal neighborhood ( Boerwar names) sorry, English people 😁). I think the living conditions since the 1920s were much better in the Netherlands then in England. Since the 1960s the Netherlands became very rich because of the gas we found and sold.

      It became an earthen compost that was gathered by workers and either sold to whomever would purchase it or it was disposed of elsewhere on the outskirts.
      Wouldn’t be surprised if all of those back-alley gardens used it for growing local produce.
