Hotpoint Supermatic

The instructions are from an earlier model, although these machines changed very little (in operation at least) from about 1965

GEC Cooker 1

55 years of cooking and grease, and it looks like it

GEC Cooker 2

Its unusual to get two so similar on at the same time. Although it is more expensive it has obviously been taken care of. I know someone up that way who has a kitchen that this would be PERFECT in

Really interesting to see offerings from the mother country and some different designs. Love the stainless kettles and those kitchen units. People here keep those 'built under' fridges for the purpose of keeping drinks cold or buy them for college dorms and not much else (we call them bar fridges). How do families get by with them? They can't keep much more than a jug of milk and maybe a plate or two of food. I have a 500 litre fridge/freezer and a small chest freezer and find that just suffices.

Whirlpool Condensor Dryer

Early model, from around the period after the Philips-Whirlpool name was dropped. This does not look to be a White Knight model - White Knight was the name adopted by the new owners of the old Philips dryer facility

Creda Cooker

Unusually for the time the grill (broiler) was at the top of the oven cavity - normally they would be entirely separate

Belling Hot Cupboard

i suppose from the styling this must be from the 1980s but I have never seen anything like it before. Trollies to keep food hot ("Hostess" trollies) are common enough but this sort of hot cupboard - no. I am surprised that the wood veneer is up to it.

I should say i am well versed with commercial hot cupboards in the course of my work, but they are all stainless steel

That Whirlpool dryer is indeed a post-Philips one. Overhere in the NL they didn't come with a window in the door, perhaps that was different in the UK? If not, then it is a Bauknecht door, some Bauknecht models had indeed a window.
