Description: | 23rd August 1945
A group of women examine a gas cooker at the Yorkshire Evening News 'Homes' exhibition. This was held in Lewis's store. The cooker has four top burners, grill with pan and an oven. It was not unusual for people still to have coal fired ovens and open fires to cook on at this time. New kitchen appliances had great appeal and the 1950/60s were to bring huge changes in living conditions. Modern equipment and labour-saving devices were to become standard requirements, not luxuries. The women here are mostly wearing hats, this was part of normal dress rather than keeping hats for special occasions. A lady to the left of the cooker is inspecting one of the pan rests. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Lewis's Exhibition homes cookers ovens | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
