Oh we used to have a stove like that when we lived on a moor :D they're great, but not very safe! You'd need a fireguard around it! *thinks of little fingers going TSSHH*
We used to have a mangle once for drying washing too! But only for show ;) those things are great fun!
love to hear about old times
those pictures are great, makes me want to visit but we live in arkansas
