- Welcome to the Anchor Maker's House, set in 1910. Women don't yet have the vote, there's a new king on the throne, the first radio broadcast is about to air. But if you're here in the Black Country, you're at the heart of the industrial world. From outside toilets to carbolic soap, join our Duty Manager Kev as he takes you on a tour of every day life!
Black Country Living Museum is a 26 acre living museum located in the heart of Dudley, and tells the story of the first industrialised landscape in the country.
My grandpa and grandma‘s house in Turkey look like this
I wish we took better care of our historic homes here in America.
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.
So touched by the shelf decoration/paper lace made out of newspapers...............
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)
my grandmothers family were Cradley chainmakers in that period, thank you for the insight.
about 5 million mainly working men did not have the vote due too the property qualification
I live in a house just like this , interesting seeing it
My nana was born in 1910 she woyld talk about the dolly tub and dolly blue to get the whites white she also called the hot water tub a copper also a donkey stoneto cleanthefront step she had an outside toilet called it the lav i wassurprisedto knowthat oosh people call the toilet the lavatory even though shewasnt well off likeall her neighbours they kept everything clean i remember her taking the bed to pieces andcleaning the iro frame with a block of soap a scrubbing brush and hot water she used to have a curtain at the open front door to keep out flies she never locked her door until she went to bed itwas opened in the morning andstayed like that all day ❤
I would be willing to bet that the stove was not a typical wood fired in 1910. It's beautiful and ornate. Most middle or lower families would never be able to afford that.
Well done kev brilliantly done and well done Michelle mekkin chain
Such a beautiful house 😍 I Love all things vintage
I would totally love to live in that house full time. I'm so done with today's technology I want to go back to the old way.
You can spend a weekend in the back to backs in Birmingham city centre.
Go for it! You can live without current technology today if you’re willing to put in the work.
Great job Kevin, can't wait to be back showing visitors around this house.
Loved that house I would of liked to spend cold evenings in the kitchen would of liked to see upstairs
Thank you for this video and of your fantastic knowledge!
We're glad you enjoyed it!
Nice one Kevin can't wait to be back
Wonderful video. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks for this video
Lovely, we have carbolic soap which we haven’t used yet but it’s white soap from beamish x
Ps my Nan had a mangle I remember using it when helping her out x
I really enjoyed this video as I love history!! - Australia
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.
This houses layout is identical to ours.
Hollis means stop ❤❤
Love it
Esses móveis são muito bonitos!
Super
There was no being lazy in those days. You didn’t eat if you were. Everyone had to work
Real discipline back then and tough love. Wish we still had that
Oh yeah? Tell that to the 1% who sat at the top doing absolutely nothing other than exploiting others for profit back then...just like today. They certainly ate, and ate gluttonously.
We’re very spoiled now.
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.
It took a tremendous amount of work to attain to even this standard of living...
How did they get rid of the waste in the outhouse ? Did they move the outhouse around ?
In Netherton they made the anchor for the Titanic.
I definitely want servants if I ever have to live back in 1910! 😂
They need to add a patrion page to allow people to make donations to the museum
Go to their website.
Would this also by a typical american home in the 1910s?
What country
Hi, we're based in Tipton, West Midlands :)
Not cleanest first, it was based on hierarchy. Generally 'Man of the house' first
Do u onow if the middle class had alarm clocks?
A pity about daft music.
Shocking that this is clearly a middle class home. In the US people on welfare live better than this.
Black country living but no black ppl 🤦🏿♂️🤣🤣 but good video
