Have you ever wondered what a 'posser' is? Or what a 'mangle' does? What does carbolic soap smell like? How on earth will you get all your washing to dry if it starts to rain? What can you use to get your 'whites' white?Not a Dolly Blue?
Head down to the laundry at Home Farm between 11am - 3pm on Monday 5 August to find out how the estate staff of the past kept their clothes smart and clean.
Join our resident laundry maid as she puts in a full days work to wash, dry and iron the farm bailiffs shirts and the dairymaids bloomers!
Spare a few minutes to help make soap 'jelly' or stay a little while longer and use a washboard and dolly tub to scrub away stubborn stains.
*Included in general farm admission ticket.
