Hi Dear Folk,
The Boy got my Safari up and running again.
I am bound and determined to finish the year 2018 in the year 2018. I think you might know what I mean.
We wanted to see the interior of the worker's cottage, but it was closed. It is right next door to the Cannery Museum. The curator of the museum kindly said that he would open it for us and take us on a tour. So we had a personal guided tour which was lovely.
We got to chatting with him and he was English, and it turned out had relatives in Wells Next The Sea where I had just visited in Norfolk with my sister. He knew at least three languages, because I heard him speak in obviously English, Norwegian and French. He seemed to so love his job there, like it was his little Kingdom and just wanted to share it with you.
The Worker's House is an authentic 1800's house built in the Regency style. The first floor interior is dated to the 1920's and the second floor is styled to the 1960's. It is such a cozy little house and even with two families living there, you can see that they had all they needed.
It was the custom for families to rent a cottage, then they in turn would sub let it. So the downstairs would have housed one family and the upstairs and loft another family.
This is the back of the house, I wish that I had taken a picture of the front as it was lovely. But you can see the three floors and the little eave windows.
First Floor 1920's
That much more room on the first floor, but they did not have the benefit of the attic, where grandma might have slept. Several generations of family living together.
The downstairs kitchen was much larger and with a pantry area.
I love these tall stoves see how it just sits in the corner, it takes up far less space than the stoves I'm used to. More room in the downstairs bedrooms than the ones on the second floor, but still tiny.
Percentage wise with the exception of Ireland no country contributed as many immigrants to America as Norway. So it would be most probable that a relative would send home an American clock, showing they made good in the new country.
Another tall thin stove.
Second Floor 1960's
The eave bedrooms.
Parents bedroom.
Kitchen.
What about this tiny sink.
How about a metal plate with a weight on top to turn it into a pressure cooker. I have never seen that before.
It was a delight to tour this house.
