This not very exciting picture shows the large top loading washing machine and even larger dryer in the laundry room of this house. There is also a deep and very practical sink alongside.
At the Bargain Loft today I came across this, rather small, washboard.
On the back are the details of this particular model which would only have been suitable for quite small items.
My fellow volunteers were surprised that I had never seen and handled one before and had many reminiscences of their mothers and grandmothers using these boards, together with mangles and boilers, on the weekly wash day.
How old are your fellow volunteers? Did they not have twin tubs? Emma and I recognise that room from toiling away doing all your chores.
