Description: | This 'All Electric Kitchens' exhibition at Charing Cross (now Embankment) Underground station was put on by the British Electrical Development Association in 1936.
This image shows a modern all electric kitchen. This would have been the domain of the housewife rather than of her staff. It includes an electric kettle and an electric plate rack and an electric oven. These wipe-clean white tiles were popular as they were seen as hygienic and smart. They were, however, very expensive.
Between the heated plate rack and the saucepans is a central control panel with many electric switches. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Leisure Art and Design Home and Family | Temporal: | May 1936 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
