Lord, help me dig into the past and sift the sands of time, that I might find the roots that made
this family tree of mine
Lord, help me trace the ancient roads, on which our fathers trod, which led them through
so many lands, to find our present sod.
Lord help me find an ancient book or dusty manuscript, that's safely hidden now away,
in some forgotten crypt.
Lord, let it bridge the gap, that haunts my soul when I can't find, that missing link between
some name, that ends the same as mine.

A CHILD OF THE 1920s,
AS SEEN FROM THE 1990s
by
John Robert Laws 1921-2008
Part 2
HOME 2
The kitchen was decorated in the deco of the period. The matchboarding of the lower part of the walls was painted a light brown like the dresser, and the upper walls were done in a strong cream gloss. I'm pretty sure there were lace curtains the same as the rest of the house. Just a touch of an earlier period was the fringe to the mantlepiece where the tea caddy (an ornamental tin), the candlesticks and the spil jar stood. The fireguard had a nice brass rim at the top, well polished by the constant touching of hands and glistened from the fire and the gaslight. Behind it was the black kitchen range, a solid fuel stove with two ovens and a back boiler for hot water. Much of the cooking was done on it in the winter using heavy old iron cooking pots which must have been heirlooms. It the only heating in the house till late afternoon unless the bedroom gas fires were used to dress by. The kitchen stove was lit at six in the morning normally by Lottie, though I remember my dad doing it on one occasion with me looking on. Everyone else must have been out of action I reckon.
The scullery next to the kitchen saved the yellowish shallow sink and the black iron gas cooker with its brass taps from spoiling the kitchen. It was definitely a workplace. the built-in copper had a fire below it to boil the wash. the mangle was enormous with big wooden rollers to get the water out before and after rinsing. the corrugated washboard had not yet been passed on to the skiffle group. Clothing must have been tough to withstand the battering. It all had to be ironed of course which was done on the kitchen table on the ironing cloth conveniently kept in its end drawer. Two heavy flat-irons were used one in use while the other was reheated on the gas cooker. No thermostats on these, a drop of spit on the finger applied to the hot iron would tell whether the sizzle was about right.
The one convenience, so to speak, about the scullery, was the downstairs loo which was entered from it. At that time they were normally out in the garden waiting for the first hard frost to put them out of action. Indeed so were most of those of the houses built in the later building boom of the early thirties.
There was one other work area, the coal cellar, prohibited to the infant population. This too was better than the thirties houses which had coal bunkers in the garden from which the fuel must be fetched come rain snow or shine. The descent to the cellar through a door in the hall passage was steep to go down and perhaps steeper to climb up laden with a bucket of coal, so some may dispute my feeling that it was better than going out in the rain.
The coal came into the cellar through the coal-hole in the top front step which was recessed into the house to give a small porch with the iron cover of the coal-hole in the centre. Four of five sandstone steps led up from street level and the coalman would carry his enormous sack up and upend it over the hole. Needless to say, this spoiled the pristine cleanliness of the whitened step and was not a popular event. Personally, I liked to see the patient carthorse observing the proceedings while digging into his nosebag and enjoying the enforced rest. Having delivered his orders, the coalman would patrol the streets calling 'Coal' at intervals in the hope of casual customers. Much the same perhaps as the 'butanero' delivering gas in today's Spain, though he needs no call, the clatter of his lorry enough to rouse the customers.
As well as the coal store there was plenty of space in the cellar with a sort of second room into which a feeble light filtered bt a small window below the 'front room' bay. I remember it as a junk store but maybe it was just the things one couldn't throw away. Perhaps the most valuable thing in the cellar was the cold water tap, which didn't freeze even in the coldest snap when everybody else's pipes were frozen and standpipes had to be put up in the streets.
