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 wish we took better care of our historic homes here in America.

My grandpa and grandma‘s house in Turkey look like this

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.

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

I love Carbolic, its very clean.

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 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.

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.

Most fascinating documentary.

I definitely want servants if I ever have to live back in 1910! 😂

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.

Thanks for this video

Wow - never heard of the lady chain makers strike - going to look it up! Thanks for this!

Nice one Kevin can't wait to be back

I really enjoyed this video as I love history!! - Australia

Loved that house I would of liked to spend cold evenings in the kitchen would of liked to see upstairs

Great job Kevin, can't wait to be back showing visitors around this house.

Love it

There was no being lazy in those days. You didn’t eat if you were. Everyone had to work

Lovely, we have carbolic soap which we haven’t used yet but it’s white soap from beamish x

Super

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.

I love the wood kitchen stove

This houses layout is identical to ours.

Esses móveis são muito bonitos!

Hollis means stop ❤❤

In Netherton they made the anchor for the Titanic.

How did they get rid of the waste in the outhouse ? Did they move the outhouse around ?

They need to add a patrion page to allow people to make donations to the museum

Black Country, No bathroom inside the house?

Damn they were having a bath once a week even in the 1910s meanwhile many 3rd world countries were far more advanced and bathed regularly.

Black coutry, Who is Bassie Hawkes?

Would this also by a typical american home in the 1910s?

What country

Do u onow if the middle class had alarm clocks?

Not cleanest first, it was based on hierarchy. Generally 'Man of the house' first

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
