Today we take so much for granted, but it wasn't always so! Just a hundred years ago barely half the country had gas and very few had electricity, another hundred years before that and there were no utility supplies at all. Domestic life has changed so dramatically during this period that it can be fascinating to see just how we progressed.
In this easy to follow book, Stan Yorke takes us on a gentle journey through time following the inventions and ideas that brought us our present day comforts.
Illustrated by over 160 photographs and drawings the book is divided into three time zones: 1750 to 1850, 1850 to 1900 and finally 1900 to 1950. It also briefly peeps past 1950.
