” A lovely interactive box to experience Washday” Swarland Primary School
For the vast majority of households in earlier times, Monday was the day the women and girls of the house did the washing. With no running water, water needed to be fetched from the well. This was a physically demanding job, but was just the start of a long, tiring day where everything was done by hand.
