Description:After clothes had been washed in the wash house, they came to the Laundry, where the large fire and ‘Ironing Stove’ were used to dry and iron clothes. A sixteen foot ironing board was kept in the laundry, alongside a ‘Dressing Horse’ and a number of clothes horses. The laundry housed twenty four ‘flat irons’ in addition to ‘6 Italian Irons & heaters’, indicating the high volume of laundry that came through the wash house from the Mansion House. A ‘Capital’ mangle also lived in the laundry, with an ‘Ironing Table’ and a number of ironing stools.
