Hi Boudica,

What an amazing piece of history you are preserving for future generations… About 9 years ago you bought an early 1960s electric Tricity cooker from me… and now I have my Mum’s x2 twin enamel grill pans with their grids and attached handles from her 1960s Tricity cooker which I am looking to sell.. not from the same cooker I sold to you…. I don’t know if you’re interested in purchasing them, but I can send photos. They have been in our family for 60 years!
Take care
Jo

OH wow, you have such a wonderful collection. I still miss my old Baby Belling I had in my bedsit in Stoke Newington and a vintage 1960 Prestcold fridge when I moved to a larger flat, I felt a kinship with the fridge as it was made at the Cowley, Oxford works near where I was born. Many thanks for sharing = ah such nostalgia. All the best! x

I’m glad that Boudica has found a passion in spite of not having enough love as a child.

A wonderful collection! But surely that Hoover Constellation is older than 1977?

I have just seen Boudicas fridge from the 1940,s. I have one pretty similar which I inherited from my Grandad, Fred Sherriff. I always remember seeing it as a youngster in their house and was so pleased when I found out it still worked and that I could have it. I always said it must be as old as me but now I am thinking it may be quite older than me having seen this one of Boudicas! Mine is called “English Electric”. It is a dull yellow and also has rounded corners. Shame theier is no google images of it! I also have an old iron mangle in my garden which still works too!
LOve your collection Boudica, thanx for sharing them with us x x x

well, I never! I too have a fear of frying and that began with eggs in a pan too. I leave that hissing side of things to my husband and concentrate on baking, much more civilised.
This might very well be my most favourite post yet, I love everything about it and what a fine collection of dog ornaments. Boudicca and GA you are having a ball and I hope it is all making up for the misfortunes in Boudicca’s young life. How I covet the Burco washer boiler, so useful!
