Looks absolutely brilliant.

I love Carbolic, its very clean.

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.

Can't wait to have a look around on my next visit. Opens when?

Absolutely brilliant! What a great idea. As kids we were always in and out of surplus shops for bits of military paraphernalia. I found Langer’s surplus shop in Stourbridge when I first came to the West Midlands, back end of the 1980s and I was still a serving soldier. It was the go-to store for all manner of kit whether to supplement your service issue or for camping/hiking items. What’s also great is that Herbet’s son Steve has continued the tradition with his store in Kidderminster and on-line. I’m looking forward to visiting the Black Country Museum store at some point in the future. 🙂

Congrats on henry the new horse i hope to see him soon and hope Danny has a nice retirement ❤❤

I am older than i thought lol, i can remember the one at Ocker Hill when i was a kid, my mom sent me there many times, i can also remember the one in Halesowen too, although it had shut down when i moved there from Tipton.

I love the wood kitchen stove

Surely the inebriated character at 4:15 is based on Freddie Frinton. Although teetotal, he made a career by often impersonating drunken men.

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

Most fascinating documentary.

Black coutry, Who is Bassie Hawkes?

Black Country, No bathroom inside the house?

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.

Apparently there’s massive spiders in the mine is that a myth bc when I went there there was nothing my Nan said there are 3 massive ones in the chimney and there a massive brown one somewhere

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.

Watching May 2024

Fantastic

My teacher was in it !

good one mate, chat soon when i see you in the village. up the albion

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

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

A pity about daft music.

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 went into the cave it was so scary lol

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 ❤

JAMES ❤

Shocking that this is clearly a middle class home. In the US people on welfare live better than this.

Went into the mines and into the thick mines and it was perfect

Lovely for those lads❤ well done

Nice audio retards

So touched by the shelf decoration/paper lace made out of newspapers...............

my grandmothers family were Cradley chainmakers in that period, thank you for the insight.

Police Constables.

I will love this when I come ❤

Esses móveis são muito bonitos!

That BSR deck is a classic, and I had one back in the day. However, the spindles of the speed control and start/stop/reject are made of die cast metal and can seize. If they are getting difficult to turn, don't force them as the brown knobs are notoriously fragile and can easily be broken. They are virtually unobtainable! Clean the inner edge of the platter, the rubber idler and the motor spindle with meths and make sure the motor spins freely.

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

Thank you Mary Seacole🎉🎉

You tot me kind ness🎉🎉🎉❤❤😊

This is lovely. This house was one of my favorite parts.

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.

Such an amazing place!

Arthur's my fav x
