Exhibition 'The Cottage Kitchen' in Thirsk Museum
With its stone sink, cast-iron range and linen hanging above to air, this is where the 19th century housewife spent her time washing, cleaning and cooking.
The kitchen has a variety of household utensils once in daily use, including an early washing machine and a heavy mangle. High up on the wall (so you can’t sit on it!) is the infamous Busby Stoop Chair.
