Step back on time on the Victorian Street and discover a day in the life of a maid at Preston Hall on Wash Day. Washing was very hard work with everything done by hand, so it’s not surprising that the Victorians did all their washing on one day of the week, typically a Monday.
Can you help the Preston Hall maid with Wash Day?
- Have a go at using a dolly (a wooden stick with what looks like a stool attached to the bottom of it) to turn the clothes, much like a modern washing machine
- Next, its time to scrub the clothes on a metal board
- Pose for a picture wearing a Victorian mop cap
