We also had gas mantles, and my grandparents only had their bathroom and indoor toilet installed in the mid 70's. Grandad thought it was unhygienic, and continued to use the outdoor toilet until he died, in his 90's, some fifteen years later.

Granny never had a cooker either. She had 2 gas rings on the marble worktop, and the rest of the cooking was done on a cooking range - an open fire with an oven next to it. No fridge obviously, but to keep stuff cold in the summer, there was a shallow 'cellar' under the stairs that was never ever warm.

Yep we had a big stone sink with a wooden draining board, one cold tap and a geyser above the sink which provided hot water. We didn`t have a bathroom until I was around 7 or 8 and the toilet was down the yard and Sunday night was bath night and the tin bath would be put in front of the coal fire and we`d all take a turn in it.
We had a black range but it wasn`t used for cooking because Mum had a gas cooker. The range was used for warmth and the oven part used to hold our clothes warming for morning time and at one time held a litter of puppies which our dog had but she sadly got run over before they were fully weaned. Mum kept them warm in the oven part of the range and fed them milk with an eye dropper. I can`t remember if they all survived but I know some of them did because we kept one.
