Date:1936 - 1937 (c.)
Description:This view shows the rear of numbers 82 to 84 Penkhull Street, Newcastle-under-Lyme, demolished under the teems of the Housing Act 1930. Houses like these would not have had an internal bathroom. The tin bath, seen hanging outside the back door, was brought inside and placed in the kitchen. It was filled with hot water heated on the stove. This took time and was expensive and so people tended to bathe only once a week. The father often bathed first followed by the other family members. The plan of the clearance area shows that the toilets were located at the other side of the yard. On the left is a laundry outbuilding with its own chimney from the boiler for heating the hot water.
